A member asked:

I am taking elevit with iodine and have just been diagnosed with over active thyroid i am thinking it's because of these supplements. should i change?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Excessive iodine can cause thyroid problems-including goiter and abnormal lab tests. Please tell your doctor who is testing you--it is very important in how we interpret these tests.
