Is It Safe To Take Oroxine During Pregnancy?

I have been taking oroxine for over 15 years for my hasimoto's condition. In 2009 and again in 2013 until now have been suffering from chronic utacaria.
I have undergone all relevant tests and I have no allergies, however the immunologist diagnosed me with autoimmune utacaria.
I cant help but believe that my oroxine is causing me hives, despite what every specialist has told me. the only issue is im 10 weeks pregnant so I have been told I cant stop my oroxine for the baby's safety.
I really need to speak with a doctor with an open mind. side effects of medication can affect you at any time, it doesn't have to occur the first time u take them.
what are your thoughts?

Hi,

If it was your doctor (endocrinologist) who prescribed oroxine while you are pregnant, then, should continue as per his/her direction.

Regular monitoring of thyroxine levels should be carried out.

I understand the worries of a young mother, but as you are having hashimoto's condition, it should be properly treated for your sake and for the sake of your baby too.

The only advice given is to keep following up with your doctor!
All the best to you and your baby!
