Should a patient who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism during pregnancy and is now two months postpartum with normal thyroid levels continue taking 25 mcg of levothyroxine (Thyronorm) while breastfeeding, and is lifelong treatment typically required?

Asked by Female, 26 · 10 days ago

Levothyroxine (Thyronorm) is completely safe to take while breastfeeding, as only minimal amounts pass into breast milk. Since 25 mcg is a very low dose and gestational hypothyroidism often resolves after childbirth, you may not need lifelong treatment. However, please do not stop taking your medication without consulting your doctor first. They will likely guide you on how to safely trial stopping the medication and monitor your blood levels afterward to ensure your thyroid remains healthy. Following up with your doctor will keep you feeling best
