A member asked:

I take synthroid (thyroxine) every morning for hypothyroidism. i normally have a soy protein drink every morning. can the soy interfere with my synthroid (thyroxine)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it may interfere: Almost everything interferes with absorption of thyroid. If you have been drinking the soy drink with the thyroid, but your doctor thinks the levels look good then don't change what you are doing. However, if you are just beginning synthroid (thyroxine) therapy, wait about 1&1/2 hours after taking the synthroid (thyroxine) before drinking the soy drink.
