Hi quick question I am 23 weeks pregnant and taking eltroxin 250, I was taking 200 but 6 weeks ago my levels went slightly low, now I have been told I am overstimulated. I am symptomatic unable to sleep resting pulse 90. I have decreased by 25 is there a pregnancy risk while I adjust to the new dose
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Eltroxin is levothyroxine given in hypothyroidism. Eltroxin is completely safe in pregnancy and is safe for the fetus too. Dose adjustment of levothyroxine has no adverse effect on the fetus, unless the levels of TSH are very deranged. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Regards, Dr Deepti verma
