Hello,
There are no long term side effects of thyronorm. Please understand it like that you have deficient thyroid hormone due to hypofunction of the gland and this drug is replenishing your thyroid pool.
Don't stop it abruptly as thyroid hormone has a key role in all body metabolism.
Get TSH and free T3, T4 checked every 6 months and your physician titrate the dose accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
