Can somebody tell me if it’s possible to take these at the same time at night before bed?

Thanks

Is the Utrogestan taken orally? If so then no, you don't take anything at the same time as Levo, minimum 2 hours away but with HRT it should be at least 4 hours, preferably opposite ends of the day. HRT can affect absorption of thyroid medication so you should test thyroid levels a couple of months after starting your HRT and keep your eye on things.

Yes orally. Oh that’s a shame. Will have to work something else out. Thanks for letting me know.

However, aren’t the interactions more related to oestrogen and oral oestrogen in particular?

If you use Utrogestan as a pessary on alternate nights it's not an issue

Thanks yes but Utrogestan was not good for me vaginally. Thanks for the info though.
