Can Levothyroxine Be Taken Safely During Pregnancy?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My daughter was tested in her 3rd week of pregnancy and she had a TSH level of 11.She was asked to take 250mcg of livothyroxine for two days and then continue with 125 everyday. She was tested again in her 16th week and her TSh reading was 0.19 and T4 was 1.28. She has been asked to continue taking the same dosage (125mcg) ,will her TSH go down further and wont it be harmful if it does?

We give thyroxine if there is low level of thyroxine in body. This condition is known as hypothyroidism. hypothyroidism is not good in pregnancy. so we prescribe thyroxine in pregnancy. Continue this dose and go for repeat testing after 1 month
