Side effects of thyronorm (thyroxine) are:
Temporary hairloss
Abnormal Sweating
Increased sensitivity to heat
Nervousness or mood swings
Feeling tired
Diarrhea
Shakes or tremor
Seizures
Headaches
Shortness of breath or labored breathing
Painful chest
Abnormal heartbeat
Fluid retention or swelling in the limbs
However as suggested by your doctor the thyroid levels have to be checked frequently so that the dose can be titrated to avoid these side effects.Hope this helps.Take care.
