A member asked:

Hi, is it safe for me to use a weight loss product called xls medical while taking 150mg of thyroxine per day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

XLS: With 150 of thyroxine you should have enough medicine to prevent weight gain and may help weight loss. Have your doctor repeat your thyroid labs - you may need more thyroxine. You must also take good control of your diet and exercise regularly.
