Patients previously treated with LT4 for a shorter period than 3 months may be included in the study (baseline visit) six weeks (or longer) after last dose of LT4 if two consecutive analyses show stable TFT*. Patients treated with PTU and/or other anti-thyroid medication for a shorter period than three months may be included in the study (baseline visit) six weeks (or longer) after last dose.\n- 3.\tMajor illness or recent major surgery (within four weeks of baseline visit 1) unrelated to MCT8 deficiency.\n- 4.\tKnown allergic reactions to components of the IMP.
