Is it harmful for children to eat propylthiouracil tablets for more than two months?

Hyperthyroidism has a negative impact on pregnancy, which may lead to miscarriage and premature delivery. At the same time, if the drug treatment of hyperthyroidism is slightly deviated, it will also cause hyperthyroidism, goiter and even hypothyroidism in the baby, which will affect the baby's brain development.

The treatment of hyperthyroidism in pregnancy is to control thyroid function within the normal range, and at the same time avoid hypothyroidism caused by overtreatment to ensure the minimum impact on the fetus.

In the treatment of hyperthyroidism in pregnancy, antithyroid drugs are the first choice, propylthiouracil (PTU) is the first choice in the early pregnancy, and methimazole (MMI) is the first choice in the middle and late pregnancy. Radioactive iodine preparations are prohibited during pregnancy and lactation.

If there are serious systemic side effects after using antithyroid drugs, or the volume of goiter continues to increase, it is necessary to continuously increase the dosage of drugs.

If the patient can't strictly use drugs and review, and the drug treatment has no effect, then it is necessary to prepare for surgery. In order to minimize the risk of surgery, surgery should be performed in the second trimester.
