Sorry if this question has been asked before! Can I take paracetamol or ibuprofen just after taking my levothyroxine?

Many thanks

Best not to take any other medication close to thyroid meds. If I need a paracetamol I try to leave at least an hour's gap although it's usually advised to leave 2 hours between thyroid meds and any other medication.

Not what you're looking for?
