Full Prescribing Info

Use In Pregnancy & Lactation

Although thyroid hormones cross the placenta, Levothyroxine Sodium Tablet (Thydin) can still be administered during pregnancy without hazard to the fetus if recommended dosage is applied. Readjustment of the dosage may be necessary since more thyroid hormone is bound to plasma proteins during pregnancy. Interference during neonatal screening for hypothyroidism may be expected since thyroxine is excreted in small quantities in breast milk. No effect has been observed in breastfed infants whose mothers were taking levothyroxine and as such it is considered to be comparable with breastfeeding.
