Will levothyroxine give you heart burn?

I have had at least 3 people who are friends who take this and the one thing that I have heard from all of them is about heartburn I have checked on 2 site listings and even though this does not appear to be noted a its side effect I am wondering if this does not cause GERD like symptoms in whom are sensitive or pron to this, discuss this with the doctor the next time you go in for a visit, if this continues to get worse you might give the office a call and just let them know if your next appointment is a good way off
take care and best wishes,

I have had heartburn for years also taken levothyroxie, my dr. put me on Nexium told take every day. take a another med
to solve the problem, what will be the side effect of taking Nexium every day? Proablly a side effect Levothyrxine does not want you to know about, I am going to change medication or doctor!!!

Heartburn isn't listed as a potential side effect, as you all mentioned, but here are a few things to consider:
1. Levothyroxine should be taken on an empty stomach to ensure maximum effect. If you're not doing that, try it and see if it helps with the heart burn.
2. Unless your physician is some amoral donk, he or she wouldn't lie to you about the side effects associated with your medications. Side effects decrease a patient's willingness to take medications and reduce quality of life: a physician would have to be off his or her rocker to straight deny a side effect when asked.
3. A reasonable amount of post-marketing is done and side effects are reported by physicians, patients, and pharmacists alike. If heartburn isn't listed, it may not be the cause for the heartburn. If you're still quite convinced (the evidence may very well be there), consider reporting it at Medwatch.
