Women are the ones that most commonly develop thyroid issues, at least according to NIH studies, though I supposed it is possible that they may also just see a doctor more often and end up being diagnosed more than men.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes, and hair loss.

Is there anything else I can help with?
