default
Posted on Mon, 21 Jul 2014
Question: I accidentally took an extra synthroid pill this morning. I normally take 175/day so I got 350 today. Will I have any side effects and/or do I need to be worried. I have no thyroid gland and am 43 years old and weigh approx 195lbs. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Thyroid

Detailed Answer:
Do not worry just don't take a pill tomorrow then continue one daily from day after. Studies have shown this does not matter so there are no significant problems that will arise from this inadvertent double dose
