8. If he is hypo or hyper thyroid and you ignore that, there are consequences. If he is taking too

Much Thyroxine, and it puts him into a hypothyroid condition the medicine needs to be adjusted

I hate to tell you this but thyroid medicines are not where pharmaceutical companies make there money

As far as cholesterol meds, only Crestor is non-generic, and today that is not where they make their money either.

Don't take my word for it, if he has too little or, too much thyroid hormone, there are physical consequences. Google it
