Yes, if Synthroid contains Levothyroxine (3,5,3',5'-Tetraiodo-L-thyronine) then there is 4 Iodine atoms per molecule (..Tetraiodo..) in it!

[You should ask your chemist for confirmation]

Wrong answer: No.

Levothyroxine (ingredient in Synthroid, Levoxyl, etc...) is T4 which your body would make on its own from iodine and tyrosine if your thyroid were functioning properly. You would most likely not need to supplement with iodine since your body is not making its own thyroid hormone, but relys on T4 from Synthroid.
