Levothyroxine and the mini pill

[MissSusan]

Apologies if this has already been asked, but I’ve had a quick search and can’t find an answer.

How long should I wait after taking my Levo before taking the pill?

[greygoose]

Is there oestrogen in it? (Sorry, I know nothing about contraceptive pills.) If so, you should wait four hours.

[MissSusan in reply to greygoose]

No, it’s progestogen-only.

[greygoose in reply to MissSusan]

Then two hours should do.

[MissSusan in reply to greygoose]

Thank you! 🙃

[greygoose in reply to MissSusan]

You're welcome.

Today is day 2 of taking it so not sure.

If the mini pill which you are taking contains oestrogen, leave a gap of at least 2 hours between the Levothyroxine and the mini pill. Levo should always be taken separately to other medication, coffee and food.
