Metxl 50 safe in hypothyroidism
Hi, my father is taking metxl 50 for high Bp in night. He is detected hypothyroidism 4 days ago. He is started eltroxin 100 ucg. However, we were consulting two doctors for high bp problems since last week as it's quite fluctuating. One doctor asked to decrease metxl 50 to metxl 25 alternate day for two weeks and then stop it as it's not safe in hypothyroidism. However, other doctor also said it's not safe, but he advised to continue metxl 25 daily to keep bp in control. So we are confused should we stop metxl now completely after 15 days or should we continue it daily
