I Took An Extra 50 Mcg Levothyroxine By Mistake. 2
Question: i took an extra 50 mcg levothyroxine by mistake. 2 x 50 mcg. Do i have to worry abt anything? submitted question a few minutes ago. not sure if it went through
Brief Answer:
No concerns...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Extra 50 mcg of levothyroxine will not do any harm. Most often you won't feel a thing; but some times you may feel a bit restless / anxious, sweating and or palpitation. If at all you feel those, it will gradually fade away in 6-8 hours.
So you need not be overly concerned.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
