Thyroid medicine

Thyroid treatment usually needs planned monitoring during pregnancy; do not stop or alter the dose without the clinician managing the condition.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Confirm when blood tests are due, how the medicine should be taken around food, iron or calcium, and which palpitations, severe vomiting or other symptoms need earlier review.

What changes the answer

  • The exact active ingredient, strength, dose, route and formulation
  • Why you use it, how often, and the pregnancy week or exposure date
  • Other prescriptions, non-prescription products, supplements and health conditions

When to get individual help

Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
