A member asked:
I have been prescribed with eltroxin new formulation 50 mg. use to use ethyrox. wil this be a huge change for my body? will it make me loose or gain weight?

Incorrect info: It is highly unlikely that you were prescribed 50 mg. It is likely to be 50 micrograms. The medication is to treat thyroid deficiency. It will be huge change for your body if you are hypothyroid and do not take the medication. What makes you question your doctor's prescription? Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
