effects of elegard and erleada on thyroid

[Joecarver]

I was hypothyroid before starting Elegard and Erleada for metastatic, but when I started them I went from 175mcg to 350mcg to get my numbers in range. Has anyone else had increase in numbers .Doesn't seem to bother the MO or PRIMARY Drs.

It’s a known side effect. I had to up my Synthroid too.

Carrying around that huge cat doesn't help either..........(print that)

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Not hypo-thyroid here, but I've become a believer in taking an iodine supplement called iodoral. I've read that iodine deficiency is common. This iodine supplement did help me with a non-thyroid medical problem that I developed as a likely consequence of being on ADT for six months.
