Taking Thyroxine For Hypothyroidism. Trying To Lose Weight. Any Effective Medicine?
I currently have hypothyroidism and have been stabilised on 100ug thyroxine. I am still struggling to lose the weight I gained pre treatment. A few people have suggested duramine to increase metabolism short term. Is there any drug interaction with duraine and thyroxine and is it effective in this type of wweight loss?

Hello
Duramine is phentaramine that is used as short term treatment for weight reduction. Usually there is no interaction between phentaramine and thyroxine.
