Question 1

can i take levothyroxine?

Accepted Answer

Probably: The problem with generic thyroid hormone (levothyroxine) is that your thyroid level can vary depending upon which generic you receive.  People who have had their thyroid removed or have very low thyroid hormone production by their own thyroid should use a brand name product for consistency.  Hopefully this answers your question.

Question 2

can i take levothyroxine with lemon water?

Accepted Answer

You can: as long as you're consistent, but it's best taken one hour before any food/calories. Make sure you're on BRAND NAME replacement for consistency,

Question 3

can i take levothyroxine and ferrous sulfate together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that is OK: There is no drug interaction between these two medicines. So you may take them together without any worries.

Question 4

can i take levothyroxine and omeprazole together without interactions?

Accepted Answer

Maybe but it depends: Neither epocrates.Com nor drugs.Com found any drug-drug interactions. Several new studies suggest that levothyroxine is best when taken on an empty stomach at night. In truth, as long as you're consistent w/your dosing regimen, we can always adjust your dose when monitoring your labs (via tsh). Ask your pharmacist for his/her opinion (they're specialists in drug timing & interactions).

Question 5

can i take levothyroxine and smoke marijuana?

Accepted Answer

It is preferable: For you to take levothyroxine only. Levothyroxine is meant to control your hormones produced by your thyroid gland. Mixing marijuana (and/or possibly alcohol) may interfere with the medication's ability to work. So by smoking weeds, you take the risk the medication may not work the way it is suppose to.

Question 6

can i take levothyroxine with fish oil at the same time. ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are no reported interactions.

Question 7

if i'm severely allergic to iodine can i take levothyroxine and synthetic t3 (liothyronine) meds?

Accepted Answer

Yes: These meds are not iodine but thyroid products, if you will, that assist and make it possible for you to have normal  metabolic function with an under active thyroid (not making enough on its own).

Question 8

can i take levothyroxine with vitamin b-12 together? if not, how far apart do i need to take the vitamin b-12 since i take levo in morning

Accepted Answer

Not a problem: It is very unlikely that taking B-12 and levothyroxine together is making it difficult for your body to absorb either one so I see no reason you cannot take both in the morning

Question 9

can i safely take levothyroxine and thinogenics?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: You can safely take brand name levothyroxine is your thyroid is deficient, but thinogenics will only thin your wallet. Why put chemicals in your body when you don't know what they are, what they can do, or what harm they can cause? Don't get your scientific information from friends, tv or the internet.

Question 10

can i take my levothyroxine and my doxycycline together?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can.: No interactions between these 2 drugs .
