Thyroid is under control

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the reports, and the reports are reassuring. Her thyroid profile is normal because she is taking the supplements. Still I would like to know her reports and her symptoms before she started taking the medicines. It will help to corelate if its ok to go off supplements. Also let me know if she has any symptoms now.

Since thyronorm is a supplement, it does not cause side effects except in case or overdose there may be irritability, anger, increased heart rate etc.

Precautions that can be advised are to take iodinated salt and cleaner drinking water.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
