I m hypothyroid and on synthroid (thyroxine). a small query.if i take bittergourd juice in morning or evening with a gap of 3 hrs with synthroid (thyroxine), is it ok ?

Fine: Not a problem. There are some things to consider: AVOID two herbs: lemon balm and bugle weed, which may interfere with the actions of this medication. Soy foods appear to interfere with the absorption of thyroid medications and the two should be taken at least 2-3 hours apart.
