Is Levothyroxine Fatal For Kids?
My prescriptions for losartan/hctz 10p-25 and levothyroxine 0.05mg both for 90 pills, were stolen from my mailbox. I think kids walking past might be the culprits. I am worried that they may take them. Could either medication be fatal to someone 8 to 15 yrs old?

Hi,
Taking Losartan may cause hypotension or renal failure or shock.
Levothyroxine usage leads to thyrotoxicosis symptoms.
The symptom may depend upon the dose of consumption and age of kids.
If Losartan consumption more than 50 mg per kg then it is fatal.
The exact fatal dose of Levothyroxine is not known but it is not good to take.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
