Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Hypothyroid patients usually have no side effects from regularly taking levothyroxine sodium tablets under a doctor's guidance. Hypothyroidism may cause symptoms such as fatigue, cold intolerance, and weight gain. Long-term treatment with medications like levothyroxine sodium is required, under the supervision and guidance of a physician.
