I am concerned about taking thyroxine for life. Is the natural product better than the synthetic product?
“I am concerned about taking thyroxine for the rest of my life. Can I take it during pregnancies? Can I take it with other medications? What if I miss a pill? What if I take an extra pill by accident? Why can’t I take the natural product rather than a synthetic preparation?” ANSWER: Thyroxine, although it is synthetic, is identical to the hormone made by your own thyroid gland. It is one of the safest medications that one can take. Because of this, many symptoms that patients ascribe to the thyroxine are in fact due to their own anxiety about taking medication rather than the medication itself. Thyroxine can be taken through pregnancy and nursing and does not affect either of those situations at all. It does not cross the placenta and thus does not reach the baby in the womb. It does not get into the milk except in negligible amounts as it would in any nursing mother producing her own natural thyroxine. It can be taken with any other medication as there are rarely drug interactions. If
