Twinkle, ACV won't interfere with your Levothyroxine but take it an hour before or two hours after your Levothyroxine. I can't find any interactions with Felopidine and ACV but I did find a contra-indiction with grapefruit and Felopidine.

"* Grapefruit (Be careful on this one if you take any prescription medications). Grapefruit helps keep weight down and is a good source of vitamin C and lycopene; however unique among fruits, grapefruit (and possibly grapefruit hybrids like the tangelo) interfere with stomach enzymes that break down certain drugs and may result in higher blood levels of the drugs than desired.

Grapefruit Cautions: Drugs that are known to have potentially serious interactions with grapefruit products include: Anti-seizure drugs such as carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Tegretol) Antidepressants such as buspirone (BuSpar), clomipramine (Anafranil) and sertraline (Zoloft), Benzodiazepines such as diazepam (Valium) and triazolam (Halcion), Calcium channel blockers such as felodipine (Plendil), nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia), nimodipine (Nimotop), nisoldipine (Sular), and possibly verapamil (Isoptin, Verelan), Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors such as saquinavir (Fortovase, Invirase) and indinavir (Crixivan), HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors such as simvastatin (Zocor), lovastatin (Mevacor) and atorvastatin (Lipitor), Immunosuppressant drugs such as cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), tacrolimus (Prograf) and sirolimus (Rapamune), Antiarrhythmic drugs such as amiodarone (Cordarone).

Note: Even waiting to take these medications up to 24 hours after you drink grapefruit juice doesn`t prevent an interaction. The best advice is to avoid grapefruit products if you take any of those drugs, unless your doctor or pharmacist approves.

Apparently for apple cider vinegar to be of any medicinal use, it must be unpasturized, not the stuff we buy in the supermarkets.
