Doctors and patients will need to work closely to find the dosage that is right for them, as each patient will respond differently to the medication and too much or too little can prove to be ineffective and even dangerous. The maximum dosage approved is 400mg, but this large of a dosage is not typical.
For Synthroid to be as effective as possible, it should be taken on an empty stomach half an hour before a meal. Unfortunately, there are some foods that cannot be consumed while taking this medication so that it can be as safe and as effective as possible. These foods may include soy products, grapefruit juice, as well as calcium and iron supplements. Patients should always avoid taking antacids that include aluminum and magnesium among other minerals as they will interact with the way the medication should be absorbed, causing it to be ineffective or not as effective as it would be otherwise.
Like most medications, Synthroid may also cause some unintended side effects. These side effects include but may not be limited to heart palpitations, nausea, abdominal pain, agitation, insomnia, weight loss, increased appetite, anxiousness, confusion, and shortness of breath. If you develop difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or swelling of the tongue these are signs of an allergic reaction and you should seek medical attention immediately. Dosing can be difficult, so patients need to watch for an increase in these symptoms, which may mean that they are overdosing on the medication. Overdosing symptoms can appear more than a week after a dosage increase so patients should report any symptoms to their doctor immediately.
