Guest guest Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 My son is 15 and has taken Synthroid for years for his hypothyroidism. My question is this... Recently a friend of mine started questioning the use of Synthroid and has told me that Armor thyroid is better and that there are numerous things out there about Synthroid making it unsafe to take. My doctor orders a t4 with tsh uptake every year and we adjust from there. However my friend says that without a t3 you don't get an accurate reading. My Endo Dr. says that it is not necessary to do a t3 with children as you will get a different reading every time that you do it so it is a waste of money. Has anyone heard anything out there about Synthroid and any adverse effects? What are your children on if they are on thyroid medicine. Thanks for any opinions or information.
