What is levothyroxine?
Levothyroxine (generic for Synthroid) is a prescription drug used to treat thyroid conditions. It is a hormone replacement drug often prescribed to treat hypothyroidism, a condition in which your thyroid does not properly produce enough thyroid hormone to regulate your metabolism and weight. In some cases, levothyroxine is used as part of thyroid cancer treatment plans.
What are common side effects of levothyroxine?
While adverse reactions to levothyroxine are rare, some patients who take the drug may experience mild side effects, including hair loss.
Rare, more serious adverse events have been known to occur, including arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, dyspnea, muscle spasm, headache, nervousness, irritability, insomnia, tremors, muscle weakness, increased appetite, weight loss, diarrhea, heat intolerance, menstrual irregularities, and skin rash. The risk of these can be lowered by close monitoring by your clinician. Contact your doctor if you are concerned that levothyroxine is causing any of these side effects.
This is not a complete list of side effects. For more information on adverse effects you may experience while taking levothyroxine, please visit the National Institutes of Health’s DailyMed webpage.
