default
Posted on Fri, 22 Jan 2016
Question: I recently had blood work done as part of my health insurance preventive program. I have no regular physician, so I had work done at Doctor's Care. Triglycerides were 332 mg/dl and TSH was5.07ml/Ul. Doctor called in prescription for Synthroid 50mg and Lopid? 600mg. Is this SOP or should I seek other opinions before starting these medications. I am 64 years old, 185lbs, 6' tall and have no health complaints.
