A member asked:
Are there any drugs or vitamins that may negatively interact with levothyroxine?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Calcium, vitamins and iron should not be taken within 2 hours (before or after) brand name thyroid replacement as they can interfere with it's absorption. Bile salt resins (not used much anymore) can also interfere with thyroid and almost all other meds.
