What are the Potential Side Effects of Levothyroxine in Children?
Levothyroxine is generally well-tolerated, but some children may experience side effects. These can include hyperactivity, insomnia, increased appetite, and weight loss. Overdosing can lead to symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, and anxiety. It is important to monitor the child closely and adjust the medication as needed.
