A member asked:
Are there any side effects to thyroid medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: Remember that thyroid medication is synthetically produced thyroid hormone just like a healthy thyroid gland would make - nothing artificial! side effects are usually related to dose. Taking too much will mimic an overactive thyroid.
