Can Intake Of Synthyroid Cause Any Problem In Kids?

Hi. I take synthroid, 0.1 mg tabs. While filling my weekly dispenser I spilled the box after having it filled. I think I missed one synthroid on the floor but think I might have misscounted when I filled the box. I have a 18 month old grandson living with me now. What should I watch for if he finds a pill and takes it?

Hi,

Nothing will happen do not worry about it. First of all, let us assume and hope for the best that he will not pop it into the mouth and even if he does at the dose and a single tablet nothing will happen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
