It is important that adverse effects such as tachycardia, arrhythmia, tremor, excitability and headache do not occur while taking Eutirox. In the case of thyroid disease, hormone replacement or suppressive therapy is not a contraindication as long as there are no organic or functional complications and thyroid hormone levels are stable within normal limits. In the case of moderate hypothyroidism, Eutirox normally restores hormone levels to normal limits, so it is difficult to imagine that there could be a significant increase in susceptibility to oxygen, as could theoretically be the case with manifest
hyperthyroidism. However, it would be advisable for the patient to be assessed by a doctor specialising in diving and hyperbaric medicine as to his suitability for diving.

Es ist wichtig, dass während der Einnahme von Eutirox keine unerwünschten Wirkungen wie Tachykardie, Arrhythmie, Tremor, Erregbarkeit und Kopfschmerzen auftreten. Bei Schilddrüsenerkrankungen stellt eine Hormonersatz- oder Suppressionstherapie keine Kontraindikation dar, solange keine organischen oder funktionellen Komplikationen vorliegen und die Schilddrüsenhormonspiegel innerhalb der Normgrenzen stabil sind. Bei einer mittelschweren Hypothyreose stellt Eutirox normalerweise die Hormonspiegel wieder auf normale Werte ein, sodass es schwer vorstellbar ist, dass es zu einer signifikanten Erhöhung der Sauerstoffanfälligkeit kommen könnte, wie es theoretisch bei einer manifesten Hyperthyreose der Fall sein könnte.
Es wäre jedoch ratsam, dass der Patient von einem auf Tauch- und Überdruckmedizin spezialisierten Arzt auf seine Tauchtauglichkeit untersucht wird.
