Can Pain Medication Cause Hyperthyroidism?
Question: Can pain medication cause hyperthyroidism ? I have developed hyperthyroidism recently and wonder if it was caused by this medication.
Brief Answer:
No, pain medications do not cause hyperthyroidism;
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
No, there are no data until now that tramdaol or other pain medications can cause hyperthyroidism.
You need to perform a thyroid ultrasound and a scintiscan to find out the cause of hyperthryoidsm, that may be a nodular goitre or Grave disease.
Hope the information will help.
