    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.
