View allHey, so I've got hypothyroidism and I'm on levothyroxine, taking 100mcg a day. I've been wondering about what might happen if I accidentally took 2 or 3 pills one day. Is there a risk of something really serious happening, like dying from taking too much? I get a bit anxious because sometimes I forget if I've already taken my dose for the day, and I've always been curious about just how dangerous it is like, how much would it take for it to be really harmful?
Taking more than the prescribed dose of levothyroxine can lead to symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as palpitations, weight loss, and irritability. In severe cases, it can lead to complications like cardiac arrhythmias or osteoporosis. However, it is unlikely to be fatal unless extremely high doses are ingested. It is important to take your medication as prescribed and if you are unsure whether you have taken your dose for the day, it is best to skip it rather than double or triple the dose. If you are frequently forgetting whether you have taken your medication, you may want to consider using a pill organizer to help keep track.

I tried taking calciferol 60k, but it made me feel so sick with vomiting, severe restlessness, and even dryness and burning in my head and heart that lasted a while. Now, I'm managing to take Calcimax syrup, 5ml twice a day, but after each dose, I get heartburn and feel restless for 3-4 hours. I'm also on Polybin since my B13 is at 247, and luckily that isn't causing any issues. However, I once tried Astime syrup and ended up with a rash and swelling inside my upper lip. What should I do?
-It sounds like her vitamin D levels are quite low, and the side effects from calciferol and Calcimax syrup are causing significant discomfort, including heartburn and restlessness. Since she had a reaction to Astime syrup, it's important to find a suitab
