Thyronorm 75mcg (Top voted first)

I am a 36 yr old female. Diagnosed with hypothyroidism with very high antibody titre. Initially prescribed with levothyroxine 50mcg, weight gain of 6 lbs per year. Had to change endocrinologist, new prescription for thyronorm 75mcg. Current weight gain is 4 kgs per month, after taking thyronorm 75 for 30 days. Also, thyronorm intake resulted in joint pain, which was not experienced during levothyroxine intake. Should I revert back to levothyroxine 50 or continue thyronorm 75?

Hi, this is Tejal. I am diagnosed with hypothyroidism. In Jan 2013, my TSH levels were 22. For the first three months, I took thyronorm 100mcg. Now from last three months, I have been told to take thyronorm 75mcg. I ll be having my test, at the end of this month. please provide me some tips for losing weight. Thanks in advance.

They are both the same medication, Levothyroxine, the Thyronorm is just a brand name for it, so the only difference is in the dosage. You are taking a higher amount of it now, which could explain the joint pain side effect.

Have you talked to your new doctor about the joint pain?
