A member asked:

I had but thyroid glands taken out but i have to take levoxly , is it ok to take diet aids?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be: You need to check the component of the diet aids. Because some of the diet aids may contain some kind of thyroid hormone. If so, you need to adjust dosage of Levoxyl (thyroxine) with your doctor.
