T3tracey,

Make sure you take thyroid meds at least 2 hours away from antibiotics to reduce the risk of interaction. Some antibiotics can increase or decrease the absorption of thyroid meds. If you are worried about thyroid results perhaps you could delay your thyroid tests until 2 weeks after you've finished the course of antibiotics.
