I'm taking synthroid 25 mg can I take sabba ace diet supp. In brief: Below

You can take it, but reviewing the literature, it prob will not bee effective for wt loss.

Here is the best information I found on the Internet: The Bottom Line – Does ACE Work? So, we’re here to tell you just the facts. After taking a comprehensive look at ACE, we reached a conclusion. There are some positives, like the length of time the company has been in business and we noticed a few favorable comments, but we have reservations recommending it because of the lack of scientific research supporting weight-loss. Plus, we have concerns about the FDA judgments and the fact that the formula contains raspberry ketones, often included in “fad” supplements with no concrete clinical backing ...See more

It may make the RX less effective, but there are no studies done to confirm this.

The general consensus is to try to have your medications at room temp unless directed to keep cooler. Here is a quote from a pharmacist about temp and medications. "Any medication, unless it specifies that it needs to be refrigerated, really needs to be kept at room temperature in a dry place away from heat, humidity and light. So the best place to keep medicines is in a medicine cabinet that's outside of the bathroom and not on top of a refrigerator where there's heat." Q: What happens to medicine in the heat? A: "You may lose some efficacy of that medication, but it's probably not going to be harmful. But nitroglycerin [used to treat chest pain in people with cardiovascular disease] is an important example ...See more
