Some potential side effects of the medications used to treat hypothyroidism may include the following: Antithyroid medications: These medicines are used in the treatment of hypothyroidism, but some people may experience allergic reactions, skin rashes, stomach pain, fatigue, or muscle pain from these drugs. Thyroxine medication: This medicine is also used to treat hypothyroidism. Potential side effects may include arterial rupture, heart attacks, dizziness, excessive breathing, and increased fatigue. Injections and other medications: Some people may require thyroid hormone injections for the treatment of hypothyroidism, which can be challenging for them. Additionally, some people have dietary habits involving medications, such as thyroid hormone tablets. Potential side effects of these medications may include skin rashes, stomach issues, nausea, and difficulty breathing. Regular monitoring is required during treatment so that the dosage or type of treatment can be adjusted if necessary. |
