I'm really worried because someone I know took about 5 or 6 tablets of thyronorm 25 mcg all at once. Are there any side effects from doing this? What should we do now?

Taking 5 to 6 tablets of Thyronorm 25 mcg at a time can lead to an overdose of levothyroxine, which is the active ingredient in Thyronorm. Symptoms of an overdose may include chest pain, increased heart rate, palpitations, excessive sweating, heat intolerance, nervousness, headache, insomnia, and weight loss. If someone has taken an overdose of Thyronorm, they should seek immediate medical attention. The treatment for an overdose may involve reducing the dose of Thyronorm or temporarily stopping the medication until symptoms improve. It is important to never take more than the prescribed dose of Thyronorm and to always follow your healthcare provider's instructions.
