Pregnancy: Levothyroxine has been taken by a large number of pregnant women and women of childbearing age without any form of definite disturbances in the reproductive process having been observed so far. Thyroid hypo- or hyperactivity in the mother may, however, unfavourably influence the foetal outcome or well-being.
Breast-feeding: Levothyroxine is excreted in breast milk in low concentrations and this may be sufficient to interfere with neonatal screening for hypothyroidism.
