Does taking Euthyrox during pregnancy have any effect on the fetus?

If the pregnant woman's thyroid hormone is low during pregnancy, she can take Euthyrox internally to improve a series of symptoms caused by low thyroid hormone. Pay special attention to follow-up visits during the treatment period, and receive targeted treatment based on the test results. Low thyroid hormone levels during pregnancy can easily lead to a series of symptoms such as fetal growth retardation or intellectual disability, fetal malformations, and retarded children. Therefore, if the thyroid hormone level is low during pregnancy and it is not actively treated, it will have a great impact on the fetus.

If the symptoms are controlled promptly and the medicine is taken strictly according to the instructions instead of exceeding the dosage, it will not cause harm to the fetus. So far, no harm of Euthyrox on the fetus has been found.

Euthyrox is levothyroxine sodium tablets, which are used to treat non-toxic goiter (normal thyroid hormone), prevent goiter recurrence after thyroidectomy, replace hypothyroidism, suppressive treatment after thyroid cancer surgery, auxiliary treatment for hyperthyroidism treated with anti-thyroid cyst drugs, and also for thyroid cyst suppression experiments. In short, Euthyrox is widely used.

It is very important when thyroid hormone is low and is a replacement treatment. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, although pregnant women with low thyroid hormone levels have taken Euthyrox, there have been no reports of harm to the fetus. However, it should be noted that thyroxine sodium tablets should not be taken during pregnancy and anti-thyroid drugs should not be used together, as this will increase the dosage of anti-thyroid drugs and may cause fetal thyroid hormone deficiency through the embryo. Thyroid suppression experiments should not be done on pregnant women. During pregnancy, you must not stop taking Euthyrox. It is a medicine for treating low thyroid hormone levels and it is also a medicine to ensure the health of the fetus and it does not harm the fetus.
