I'm wondering what effect do antacids have on thyroid hormone pills?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Can alter absorption: Don't take antacids with thyroid replacement pills. Thyroid replacement w/brand name T4 is best taken in the am an hour before you eat your first meal. Don't take w/iron, calcium or vitamins either.

Antacids interfere: with thyroid hormone absorption. Thyroid should be taken on an empty stomach. Also avoid taking iron, calcium, or vitamins at the same time as thyroid.
