Private endocrinologist prescribed me NDT but need help re: what vitamins to avoid before taking it?

Hi all

Yesterday private endocrinologist prescribed NDT. Have dose times worked out but don't know if I should avoid certain vitamins or anything else, eg food, other medication before or after investing NDT.

Basically would the same principles apply dosing with NDT as with levothyroxine dosing. Example advised not to take magnesium until four hours after levo dose. Does this also apply to NDT?

Any feedback would be much a appreciated.

Thank you

To make absolutely sure nothing affects absorption, I would treat NDT the same as Levo as far as supplements/other medication is concerned.
