Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 6 months post total thyroidectomy and have taken levothyroxine successfully until a couple of weeks ago. I am suddenly getting chronic hives. I stopped med s for 5 d and took benedry. I was better and started taking synthroid. Now am getting chronic hives again. Any ideas on what to do?
I don't think its allergy to thyroxine as it is a natural human hormone. you should consult your physician regarding this. Maybe there is some preservative in the medicine causing the hives.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Harshita, Ophthalmologist
