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 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 3

is it ok to take estroven while taking levothyroxine?

Accepted Answer

Yes: But do not take them at the same time.  Levothyroxine should be taken on an empty stomach and separate from any vitamins or supplements by at least an hour otherwise they could decrease the absorption of the levothyroxine.  Always check with your doctor for any contraindications before taking the estroven as well.

Question 8

can i take levothyroxine and ferrous sulfate together?

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Sure: It's your business. Aloe vera is a fascinating plant with some interesting molecules. If you believed all the claims, you'd be reading uncritically. Best wishes.

Question 10

is it possible for me to take garcinia cambogia and levothyroxine?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: As is true with most supplements, there are no good studies that these supplements do anything beneficial for you.  They are not regulated by the fda, instead treated as "food supplements". Most of these are thought not to be harmful, but there are no studies to support this.  You should not take any supplement at the same time as the levothyroxine, or else absorption of the med could be affected.
