i have 160 pills i found in a seedy looking bottle they are small, yellow round blank on one side and scored on the back with a 100 over on the top half of score mark i think they may be oral steroids because of where i found them ## i have the same kind if you found out what it is please contact me back. ## My grandmother was given these pills and they are different color than the prescribed Levothyroxine Sodium I was wondering what pill this could be since it is definitely not Levothyroxine Sodium

Tan capsule shaped imprinted with M on one side and L scoremark and 10 on the other Is this the 125mcg strength? ## Generic tablets DO NOT have a color code, the colors actually don't mean anything. They are identified solely by the imprints on the tablets. That said, yes, this tablet does contain 125mcgs of Levothyroxine, a generic for Unithroid. Common side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, weight gain and hair loss. You can read more on the medication here: Is there anything else I can help you with?

Started this drug 2 weeks ago and I feel like I am falling apart. Was taking it with an iron supplement as prescribed by my doctor. For the past week I've had soreness in the lower left abdominal region and at times, I feel a bit woozy Like a shakey feeling. It almost feels like I'm outside my self and it is very hard to explain. My mouth is very dry and I've developed acne on my chin and side of my mouth. I'm on a very small dosage, .05. What's going on with me? ## It can cause nervousness and palpitations, which could explain some of your symptoms, as well s the acne and dry mouth. It is, however, important to speak to your doctor about it, to make sure it is the medication and not some other medical condition, but what you are describing is commonly experienced by...

small round off white pill with 021 marking ## I was recently prescribed thyroid medication and vitamin D pills by a doctor because I am low in both areas. Since starting taking the medication i have occasional dizziness, slight depression and loss of sexual desire or ability to be aroused or orgasm. I haven't read that these are side effects of thyroid. Could they be? Is is something else? Should I stop taking it?

I was on .175 of Levothyroxine. I had a test done and the Dr. said my thyroid was too low and said I had to go up to 0.25. Is this a lower dose or a higher dose? Would it be due to high T4 levels or low T3 levels? I am confused. I've been steadly going up to the next dose each time I test. I've been at .175 for about 5 to 6 months. ## Yes, 0.25 is a higher dose than 0.175. As to which levels your doctor is referring to, I have no idea, you would really need to ask them. It is normal to try a certain dosage for several months and then make adjustments as needed, this is done with virtually any kind of medication. Have you asked your doctor your questions?

A-FIB MEDICATION ## information on amnioderone ## is light headedness and dizziness a side effect of amnioderone? other side effects please ## My mother has been taking amnioderone and was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism - apparently amnioderone increases the iodine in your body. Please have your TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) checked with a blood test; normal range is 2.5 and my mothers was 77 before a diagnosis was made. She has no energy, pain in her legs, fuzzy memory-but we're told that if the TSH returns to normal the symptons will greatly improve.
