Echinacea

[SilverSavvy]

Hi all. Anybody got any advice on whether it is okay to take Echinacea alongside Levo? I keep getting viruses atm (like everyone else) and I used to find it quite useful if taken within first 24hrs but I'm nervous that taking it now I'm on these meds might be a problem.

Does anyone know of any contraindications?

Many thanks.

I recently took 15 drops twice daily to get over a nasty head cold. I must admit I never considered a contraindication with Levo. I took it a couple of hours after my Levo and then again late evening. I didn't feel any adverse effect.

Don’t take anything at same time as levothyroxine

At least 2 hours away

Thank you! I've decided to take it in the evening with the Vit D. Although after reading today's info on that, looks like I'd better get me some VitK as well
