Suffering From High Thyroid Levels. Taking Thyrocare, Body Pain. Common Side-effects?
My mom has thyroid problem. Its just more by 0.5 value. She took thyrocare 25 mcg for about a month. She is facing lot of pain and too much unconfortness in the body after taking the tablet. But once she stopped the medication she doesn t have that pain. Please let me know if this happens to everybody who takes that tablet or its an exceptional case?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM forum.
Yes for first timers taking hormonal pills like thyroxine ( thyrocare) can cause some discomfort however it usually doesn't last more than a month.
The dose 25 mcg is a very minimal and safe dose.
If still your mother is having persistent discomfort I would advise you get her reevaluated by her doctor and get her hormone and calcium levels repeated for further management accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
