Content: Does Synthroid Cause Weight Loss? So the big question is this: Does Synthroid actually cause weight loss? The answer is that it CAN, but unfortunately for most patients, it most likely will NOT cause significant weight loss. Why? In order to understand we need to talk about the basics of thyroid function. If you have a decent understanding of thyroid function feel free to skip this part, but if you are a beginner please pay close attention. First: There are 3 forms of thyroid hormone floating around in your body...
T4 --> This is the reservoir form of thyroid hormone but is NOT active by itself. Synthroid and levothyroxine are T4 containing medications only - which means they are NOT active by themselves.
