Thyroid treatment
Hi,
I am writing to you from India. I have been suffering from underactive thyroid for the last 3 years. The doc have prescribed me thyronorm (Abbott). Of late I feel my gums resending and becoming loose and also my eye pressure becoming high. Want to know could this drug be causing this? Should I continue with it or change the drug. Pls advice.
Thanks
Hello, Shirley,
The listed side effects I found for this medication, which goes by various names including Levoxyl, are:
Serious Reactions
* arrhythmias
* CHF
* HTN
* angina
* pseudotumor cerebri (peds)
* craniosynostosis (infants)
* premature epiphyseal closure
* seizures (rare)
Common Reactions
* palpitations
* incr. appetite
* tachycardia
* nervousness
* tremor
* weight loss
* diaphoresis
* diarrhea
* abdominal cramps
* insomnia
* fever
* headache
* alopecia
* heat intolerance
* menstrual irregularities
* nausea
* anxiety
I don't see anything about receding gums or increased intraocular pressure, but these are serious symptoms that need to be discussed with your doctor. We cannot advise you as to whether you should continue with this medication. That advice must come from a doctor who can review your medical history and examine you.
Good luck,
Teri
