Q: can i donate blood if i take levothyroxine daily?

: There is no reason why you cannot donate blood if you’re taking levothyroxine. After you donate a unit of blood, the red blood cells are separated from your serum which is where the levothyroxine can be found. Only the red cells are transfused into the patient.
