Continue medication: Congenital Hypothyroidism is a lack of the thyroid hormone which is what Levothyroxine provides.  All medications have benefits and side effects.

Delayed treatment can even lead to neurological problems.

can i take levothyroxine?

Accepted Answer

Probably: The problem with generic thyroid hormone (levothyroxine) is that your thyroid level can vary depending upon which generic you receive.  People who have had their thyroid removed or have very low thyroid hormone production by their own thyroid should use a brand name product for consistency.  Hopefully this answers your question.

Do you mean : Ephedrine (ephedrine (ephedrine sulfate) sulfate)? If so, there are very few modern indications for ephedrine (ephedrine sulfate). Why are you taking it, and has it been recommended by your doctor? It can interact with T4 (levothyroxine) depending upon the dose and levels of both drugs. There are better and safer asthma meds if that's why you're on itl.
