Application features

Levothyroxine therapy in patients at risk of developing psychotic disorders should be started with low doses of the preparation, gradually increasing the dosage at the beginning of therapy. It is recommended to observe the patient's condition. In the case of the development of psychotic disorders, the possibility of adjusting the dose of levothyroxine should be considered.

Pregnant

There are no data on teratogenicity and / or fetotoxicity when taking the preparation in the recommended therapeutic doses. Taking very high doses of levothyroxine during pregnancy can negatively affect the fetus and the child's postnatal development.

Children

Possible use for children

Drivers

There is no data on the possible effect on the ability to drive vehicles or work with complex mechanisms. However, since levothyroxine in its action is identical to the natural thyroid hormone, the effect of Eutirox on the reaction rate when driving vehicles or other mechanisms is not expected.

Overdose

For symptoms manifested as pronounced beta-sympathomimetic effects, such as tachycardia, anxiety, nervous agitation, hyperkinesia, beta blockers are prescribed. If the dose is significantly exceeded, plasmapheresis is recommended.
