A member asked:
Can i take anything to help me lose weight? i have a hypothyroid problem and take 150mcg levoxyl (thyroxine)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Hypothyroidism cause cause weight gain, so you want to make sure that your current dose of lavoxyl is effective. Diet and exercise is always the cornerstone of a weight loss program. There are medications that are effective for weight loss, but they are not a substitute for diet and exercise. Note: please speak with your doc before starting an exercise program.
