A member asked:

I accidentally took an extra dose of levothyroxine can you please advise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't worry: You can skip a day or just continue to take them normally- it really doesn't matter. T4 lasts 4-6 weeks in your body, so there's no danger or problems like overdosage or toxicity. You won't even notice - no symptoms. Just relax and enjoy life with a normal thyroid level.
