Can i use euthyrox for weight loss if my tsh is (ok)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not for weight loss: You should not use thyroid hormone supplements for weight loss. Excess thyroid hormone will speed up your metabolism, but also your heart rate. You will be hot all the time, develop a tremor, get anxious/nervous. People can get sick from excess thyroid hormone; And then when you stop it, you will likely regain the weight.
