A member asked:

I have hypothyroid and i am taking thyronorm 100 mcg now(starter with 25 mcg 5 y ago) .what would be long time side effects ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: B"sd levothyroxine (generic name) is identical to naturally occuring thyroid hormone in the circulation. replacement doses that maintain an optimal TSH should be of absolutely no concern for side effects
