A member asked:
I have an underactive thyroid. aside from diet and exercise, what are some recommended thyroid medications to help with losing weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None : Although commonly believed to cause weight loss, properly dosed thyroid hormone does not produce more than a 5-10 pound loss of water weight. Diet and exercise, that is the key.
