Why can I have my blood monitored every 4 weeks to detect side effects at the earliest possible point in time?
No studies to date have shown that frequent monitoring influences the detection of drug-induced side effects in patients with thyroid disease. Indeed, patients can be fine one day, and have a precipitous or rapid drop in blood count leading to an infection that happens very rapidly, in only a few days. Hence, although it is important to be aware of the side effects, frequent regular monitoring of blood counts does not appear to be helpful in predicting the development of side effects in this specific instance.
