It's said that everything should be 2 hours (or more for some things) away from Levo; however, when I've been desperate I have taken paracetamol an hour away from Levo. When you consider that it's just an occasional thing, one dose, then there shouldn't be too much of a problem. Just my opinion, not medical fact.

According to Drug Bank there is no interaction between paracetamol and levothyroxine...but I prefer to take them apart if possible.However, I doubt any problems will occur if occasionally they are taken close together ( I've done that ) but I'm not a medic!
