Can Taking Thyrox 50 Cause Drowsiness Or Any Other Side Effects?
I am 8 months pregnant. Age 40yrs. First pregnancy. Having detected hypothyroidism recently, Doctor prescribed me Thyrox 50. As I have started taking it from today morning, I found that soon after taking it i started feeling drowsy and my pulse rate came down to 55/min. Is it the side effect? Please help

Hi,
Thanks for asking a question at HCM
I will try my best to help you with the answer
Yes, this can be a side effect.
Hi, What is your TSH level. Yes, this can be a side effcet of Thyroxine. I guess you need to reduce the dose Thyroxine.
Consult your doc, and try taking it at 25mcg +12.5 mcg [which is the next lowest dose] instead of 50.
You should be alright by this.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards
Dr Chaithanya
