What are the side effect of taking thyroxin 50 (daily) on a long term basis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Thyroxin is a replacement of the thyroid hormone that your body is not able to make. If you get your levels checked and they are in the normal range there is no long term side effects. Your thyroid controls you body's metabolism and you need to take your thyroid medicine the rest of your life.
