Should I Stop Taking OxyPro When On Thyroid Medicine?
I am on 100 mcg of Levothyroxine and 500 mg of Metformin. I started taking OxyPro Elite and I just read on their website to stay away from it if you are on thyroid medicine. I consulted with my doctor before taking the OxyPro Elite and he said it was fine. I have been working out with a trainer and for the week of taking the OxyPro Elite I lost no weight at all even though I was jogging/running at least 4 miles a day and 20 minutes of weight lifting a day. The trainer told me that OxyPro Elite could actually work in reverse because I m on thyroid medicine. Should I stop taking OxyPro because I am on thyroid medicine? Also could it have halted my progess this last week? I m looking for an explaination as to why I didn t loose any weight even though calories in and calories out I should have lost about 5 pounds.

Hi,
You can stop taking the supplement and continue the workouts and check your weight and thyroid levels after 15 days. Uncontrolled hypothyroidism can also cause weight gain. Dose correction may be required to control TSH levels. Thyroid auto antibodies should also be checked.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
