Euthyrox has many medicinal uses and is relatively effective. It is deeply loved by patients and friends and has always had good sales. If taken in large quantities for a long time, it will cause symptoms such as palpitations, insomnia, irritability, sweating, tremors (especially finger tremors), and hyperphagia. What are the side effects of Euthyrox? Let me tell you about it below.

Side effects of Euthyrox

1. Gastrointestinal reactions, manifested as abdominal distension, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, etc.

2. In terms of the heart, it can induce arrhythmia and cause palpitations and discomfort. For those with a history of coronary heart disease, it can induce angina pectoris or even myocardial infarction. Therefore, those who take the medicine for a long time need to regularly check the electrocardiogram and cardiac color ultrasound.

3. Overdose of Euthyrox may cause symptoms of hyperthyroidism such as excitement, palpitations, headache, insomnia, heat intolerance, sweating and even tremors.

4. Thyroid hormone has no adverse reactions if used in appropriate dosage. Excessive use may cause tachycardia, palpitations, angina pectoris, arrhythmia, headache, nervousness, excitement, restlessness, insomnia, skeletal muscle spasms, muscle weakness, tremor, sweating, flushing, heat intolerance, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss and other symptoms similar to hyperthyroidism.

5. When T3 is overdosed, adverse reactions occur faster than T4 or thyroid powder. Reducing the dosage or stopping the drug can make all symptoms disappear. In cases of T4 overdosage, symptoms disappear more slowly. The manifestations of adverse reactions are similar to those of hyperthyroidism, such as increased appetite, nervousness, various types of tachycardia, arrhythmia, and increased basal metabolism. In 1986, allergic reactions caused by pure thyroid preparations were first reported. Patients with hypothyroidism developed fever, abnormal liver function, and increased eosinophils. Generally, the symptoms disappeared after stopping the drug.

6. For children with hypothyroidism, T4 may cause short-term pseudoencephalopathy. If T4 treatment is used continuously, headaches and bilateral optic disc edema may occur even if there is no local neurological deficit.
