A member asked:
Will taking synthroid (thyroxine) boost your metabolic rate and increase your weight loss? i do not have a thyroid problem and was just curious
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Curious: Thyroid issues infrequently cause thyroid problems. If your doctor has never checked your thyroid levels he/she will probably do so at your next visit. Synthroid would increase your weight loss but there does not seem to be any thyroid issue.
