A member asked:
My mother is 45 years old. now she is on thyroxine supplementation 150mg per day. is there any problem on taking calcium tablets 1mg per day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take seperately: Calcium tablets typically have 200 to 600 mg of calcium (not 1 mg). The important thing is to take the calcium many hours after the thyroid supplement, otherwise it may interfere with how the thyroid med is absorbed by the gut.
