Consumer:Before using thyroid desiccated, tell your doctor if you also use methylTESTOSTERone. You may need a dose adjustment or special tests in order to safely take both medications together. Call your doctor if you have appetite changes, weight changes, sleep problems (insomnia), and fatigue. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: Androgens may induce reversible clinical hyperthyroidism in patients receiving thyroid hormone replacement therapy. The proposed mechanism is androgen-induced decrease in T4 binding globulin resulting in decreased serum T4, increased T3 uptake resin and free T4, and decreased TSH levels.
MANAGEMENT: Clinical and laboratory monitoring of thyroid function may be necessary, as may a 25% to 50% reduction in thyroid hormone dosage.
