Do Thyrowel Capsules Causes Any Side Effects In A Child?
hi my daughter is 11 years old. the daughter suggest for thyrowel capsule. her thyroid stimulating hormone is 5.72. the doctor suggest to give 1 cap, for one month, pls suggest that if i give my daughter cap for one month or not does this cap have any side effect
Thyrowel is a capsule compounded of several supplements (iron, vit B12, zinc, etc) and generally is not dangerous unless in over dose. I would advise you to use it as recommended and do the needed follow ups as the doctor might have already advised. Her TSH is a little higher than the usual values (should be within 0.5-5) but is not high enough to start thyroid hormones so a good follow up is needed to see if she will progress and need thyroid hormone or not.
I hope this is helpful and answers to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
