Should you take xenical while taking thyroxin?

4 hours apart: Orlistat can decrease the amount of thyroid medicine in your body. Take these medicines 4 hours apart.

Pharmacist: I recommend taking the thyroxin at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking the xenical to prevent absorption interference. However your pharmacist can advise you best on this matter and other questions regarding your medications.
