Afrin (oxymetazoline) is fda pregnancy category c.

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.

anyone was still taking this out-moded anticholinergic medication. Why are you taking it. It's ok to take with levothyroxine, but brand name levothyroxine is better and more reliable than generic.
