i have hypothyroidism is plexus slim safe to take?

Question

Is it safe for me to take metformin for hypothyroidism?

Answer 1

Yes, but why?: You can take it, as long as your thyroid is being treated appropriately -- but why> it has never been scientifically shown to help lose weight or treat any know human medical problem. The only thing that will lost weight is your wallet. Eat sensibly and exercise, save your money and your health. Don't believe medical info on tv or the internet.

Answer 2

Probably: Plexus slim is an otc supplement. The major ingredient appears to be a non digestible starch that may make you feel full so that you eat less (though there are no studies that show any efficacy in humans). You should be sure to take your thyroid medication on an empty stomach, many hours before any supplements.

Answer 3

Plexus Slim: I googled the ingredients of plexus slim and did not find anything that would be harmful in hypothyroidism. Keep in mind that there is no significant evidence that anything in plexus slim will help you lose weight.

Answer 4

It depends on levels: Many people with mild hypothyroidism don't feel any different. Occasionally, even people with severe hypo feel normal. Severe hypo can lead to heart disease so it should be corrected even if the person feels well. In mild cases, this is questionable.

Answer 5

Other issues.: It's important that your hypothyroidism is correctly treated. Your doctor should check this at least yearly. You may also have a condition unrelated to your hypothyroidism which requires a doctor to look into your history. Examples include prior sensitivity to dental agents, mitral valve prolapse or other heart valve problems.

Answer 6

Healing problems: Patients with hypothyroidism can have healing problems and blood pressure problems if sedation or general anesthesia is used.

Answer 7

If your: Hyporhyroidism is treated and stable, so that with medications your effective function is within normal limits, you shouldn't need clearance. If there is some reason to believe that you may not be optimized, you should check with your pmd before having any procedure.

Answer 8

No extra needed: There is no need for supplements such as tyrosine if hypothyroidism is treated appropriately with replacement thyroid hormone.

Answer 9

It's possible!: Be sure to ask your healthcare provider for a simple blood test to check for sle. Good luck!

Answer 10

Yes but : Hypothyroidism is much more frequent and unlikely to be associated. Some causes of hypothyroidism convey an increased risk.

Answer 11

Blood levels: Hypothyroidism is condition when thyroid fxn is low. Many associated symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, poor appetitie, depression, thinning hair, dry skin, palpitations, swelling, constipation and other symptoms. The best way to screen is with a TSH level. There are other thyroid test that can be ordered as wll. Most symptoms are vague , so seeing doctor is usually needed.

Answer 12

Depends: There are various forms of hypothyroidism, and each is screened for slightly differently. Just doing a TSH is not very accurate. If you have lots of symptoms of hypothyroidism, consider a full panel including tpo, reverse t3 (liothyronine), (liothyronine) and free t3 (liothyronine).
