A member asked:
Being treated with synthroid for hypothyroidism. side effects seem to only stem from complications if you become hyper. is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hyper: Yes, it is true. Your doctor must check your synthroid dose regularly - perhaps every 8-12 weeks! If you think earlier than that you should immediately contact your doctor. Hope all goes well!
