Are Hot Flashes Side Effects Of Thyronorm 50?

Hello, I am 12 and half weeks pregnant and my TSH level is 6.40. Prior to this I was never diagnosed with Thyroid. My doctor has prescribed me Thyronorm 50 at bedtime, which I am taking diligently. I just need to know if hot flashes are a side effect of this medicine, as I have been excessively feeling hot during day time. Thanks J

Hi.

Yes, hot flashes can be the side effects of thyronorm.

When given in slightly larger doses thyronorm can cause increased nervousness, tremors, heat intolerance, sweating, increased heart beats, palpitation, and hot flashes.

Increased nervousness, tremors, heat intolerance, sweating, palpitation tachycardia, unexplained weight loss which are the symptoms of overactive thyroid.

You are advised to consult your treating doctor to adjust the dose of thyronorm in a such a way to have the TSH level in the optimal range of 0.5 – 2.5 mIU/L.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
