Hello
Welcome here.
Thyronorm can cause diarrhea. I think dose reduction is needed. But do consult your doctor before that.
Taking antibiotics (metrogyl) in first trimester of pregnancy is only advised if its severe infective diarrhea.
Take plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration due to diarrhea.
Go for stool examination to know if its infective diarrhea.
Thyronorm induced diarrhea will resolve itself once the dose is reduced.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
