Question 1

im on levothyroxine medication can i take max garcinia?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but....: I am not aware of a bad interaction.  However, why do you want to take garcinia?  These supplements are always promoted heavily without any medical/scientific justification.  A study by kim et al, nutritional journal, 2011, vol 10, page 94, pmcid  21936892, found no effect of garcinia on weight loss.  The advertisers won't tell you that, will they?

Question 2

will the plan b pill affect with my levothyroxine medication!?

Accepted Answer

No: Hi. No, it will have no effect. I suggest you talk with your doc or our good friends at Planned Parenthood to find an acceptable form of birth control so you don't need to rely on Plan B too often. Good luck!

Question 3

are there any vitamins and minerals that are advised not to take whilst on levothyroxine medication ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe, maybe not: Levothyroxine can interact with multiple other drugs and supplements. Other medications can often be taken safely with it, but may need to be taken at another time of day. Your doctor or pharmacist can evaluate your specific situation.

Question 4

can under people with under active thyroid on levothyroxine medication take raspberry ketone?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but: It's a waste of money. Raspberry ketones don't help with weight loss or any other medical condition. The only thing to lose weight is your wallet. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or internet scams.

Question 5

on birth control for years, just increased my levothyroxine medication. last month period was super light (unusual) & this month period basically nothing. ive never missed a period before & my thyroid is better controlled now than before. ideas ?

Accepted Answer

Common : It is not rare to miss a period while on birth control. If you are concerned about pregnancy you can take a pregnancy test at home. Obgyns do not get worried when a patient missed one period while on birth control.

Question 6

hi doctor,

i got my periods on january 11. i fell down and broke my ankle on january 26. the orthopedic surgeon prescribed me pain medication-ibuprofen and hydrocodone/acetaminophen tablets on addition to coated aspirin. i was on levothyroxine medication

Accepted Answer

Broken ankle: Sorry about your fracture but you don't ask a specific question.

Is your ankle healing? If not go back to the orthopedist.

Are you still on thyroxine and is your dosing enough? Check with your doctor.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Amberen&levothyroxin: Yes there is no conraindication for thaking these together.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Synthetic thyroid ho: It is a generic synthetic thyroid hormone tablets, contains synthetic crystalline tetreiodothyronine sodium salt.It is a synthetic thyroxine identical to that produced by human thyroid gland
it is prescribed to treat hypothyroidism.

Question 9

hi, my doctor has me on the following medications, levothyroxine because i have no thyroid, clonzepam to help me sleep, atorvastatin 80mg. lisinopril10mg, diltiazem 180mg would these cause cramping in my legs and hands, i take coq10 cramping is worse?

Accepted Answer

: Atorvastatin is the most likely one of these medicines to cause cramping in your legs and hands. Taking CoQ10 average 200 mg a day can decrease the muscle cramps and aching from atorvastatin another statin trade medicines. Consult with your primary care physician before changing treatment.

Question 10

i am 29 weeks pregnant and today i accidently took twice my levothyroxine 100 micrograms medication. once in morning and by mistake in afternoon too.

Accepted Answer

It'll be okay: I don't think this should be a problem. I would recommend NOT taking tomorrow's dose (the one you accidentally took this afternoon). Then just get back to business as usual the next day. It's never wrong to let your obstetrician know and get their advice, or maybe a HealthTap consultation? Good luck and don't worry!
