I take synthyroid for hypothyroidism can i take flaxseed oil ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: It is recommended to take synthroid (thyroxine) on an empty stomach without other pills, supplements or food 30 minutes to 1 hour before any other ingestion. Any soybean product can interfere with absorption and is not recommended. If you must take a related product, I would encourage staggering it 12 hours away from your thyroid medication.
