A member asked:

Is it okay to take synthroid (thyroxine) if your tests are normal already?

Specializes in Endocrinology

What is normal?: If your tests are normal when taking thyroxine that is good. If someone wants to give you thyroxine and you have "normal" labs already than see another doctor.
