A member asked:
I know you cant take iron, calcium, or fiber tablets for 3-4 hours after taking synthroid. but what about food with a high percentage of those?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take synthroid alone: Good afternoon, As you correctly stated calcium, iron etc shouldn’t be taken with thyroid hormone replacement, including synthroid. The same goes for food. It’s recommended that thyroid hormone be taken by itself, with no food or other medications. Best regards, be well. Dr. Wood
