A member asked:
Is it safe to take iron tablets prescribed by the doctor when i am on levothyroxine for hypothyroidism recent blood test says low iron?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but: You must separate the thyroid and the iron by at least two hours. Use brand name T4 replacement only.

Iron and Thyroid: Yes, of course. Iron can be hard on the liver but it appears in your profile that liver disease is not a concern for you.
