A member asked:
I am taking synthroid (thyroxine) 25 mg. i have been loosing weight . i don't think this dosage is high enough. and why am i loosing weight.

That is a very small: dose of Synthroid (thyroxine). Best to check your T4 and TSH levels at your doctor's lab. With this information your dose may be adjusted to correct the weight loss. Bear in mind that other factors may be involved in weight loss. Best of health.
