A member asked:
Is it safe to take iodine and synthroid (thyroxine) at the same time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BAD IDEA: Iodine deficiency is rarely a cause of hypothyroidism in the usa, because there is more than sufficient iodine in our diet. The ingestion of excess iodine will not help your treatment, but it may , in fact, create unpleasant side effects.
