Can the initiation of thyroid hormone replacement therapy (Thyronorm 100 mcg) and calcium/vitamin D3 supplementation (Shelcal HD) cause facial hyperpigmentation and weight loss?
Hello! It is completely understandable to feel concerned about new symptoms. Starting levothyroxine (Thyronorm) normalizes your metabolism, which commonly leads to expected weight loss as your body adjusts. Calcium and vitamin D3 (Shelcal HD) do not cause weight loss or skin changes. Facial hyperpigmentation is not a typical side effect of either medication; it might be related to hormonal fluctuations or the thyroid condition itself. Please be reassured, but do discuss these skin changes with your doctor to check your hormone levels and ensure your treatment is on the right track. We are here to support you!
