Not likely, but see : Your doctor before using it. This herbal product, like many others has drug-drug interactions and side effects. See this site for more info and consult with your doctor. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/329.html.

Equivocal findings: There was a small (37 patients) study suggesting that st john's wort (sjw) might elevate tsh. http://tinyurl.com/lvjyayl in this study, 4/37 patients with elevated TSH had taken sjw in the 3-6 month period before TSH was measured, but only 2/37 of those with normal TSH had taken sjw in the same time period. Some question the data analysis of this small difference. http://tinyurl.com/mw5zhcu.
