Brief Answer:
It might be not because of side effect of tab.thyronorm

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thankyou for your question.

Since Hypothyroidism is a condition which causes slow metabolism and increased weight.Doing exercise daily would help boosting up of metabolism and maintaining weight.
Since failing in achieving your target of loosing weight may not be because of tab.thyronorm.As it is not the side effect of tab.thyronorm.
You may need to follow proper diet plan too with exercise to achieve your goal.Like increase complex carbohydrates (oats,brown rice,brown bread etc) in your diet at morning time and more protein diet at night time.You may take advice from professional dietician also.

If you ask side effects of tab thyronorm ,these include tiredness,weight loss,increased appetite,anxiety,irritability,poor sleep,muscle spasms etc

Hope my answer will satisfy your query.Pls do not hesitate to ask further to clearify you more.

Dr. Maheswari.. Thanks for your response.. I follow up for diet plan, but would like to inform you that Uric acid is also as 6.94 as per report. should it be OK to take more protein food in night? can exercise and controlled diet will short out the issue of thyroid?

Brief Answer:
Yes much protein may increase uric acid level more in blood.

Detailed Answer:
Thankyou for sharing again.
Since uric acid level has to be also maintained ,for that Protein diet has to be less in diet.Apart from this increasing fibre in diet ,antioxidants food like salads,fruits and vegetables ,having Vit C supplements may also increase the absorption of uric acid and excretion from body.

Coming to Hypothyroidism and increased uric acid level ..I would suggest continue tab thyronorm,but at the same time continue exercise and diet plan.Because it is hormonal disbalance and it happens most of the time with unknown cause.So hormonal disbalance can be managed if proper diet,exercise and medicine is followed.I would also suggest get Kidney profile done once ,just to rule out the cause of increased uric acid level.

Hope I answered your query.Please do share more if you need to ask and clarify more.
