A member asked:

What is the treatment for synthroid (thyroxine) overdose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Supportive: Usually overdose does not cause problems. In a massive overdose, an epinephrine-blocker such as Propranolol may be lifesaving, and monitoring and managing the heart rhythm disturbances that may occur is critical.
