question about increasing synthroid?

[Mccrae]

when increasing a dose of synthroid it speeds up your metabolism???? Does the increase also affect the way you metabolize other medications you take???

McCrae Without knowing the medications and how they are administered it would be difficult to comment. Also medications can alter the effectiveness of synthroid.Firstly to avoid interaction we should take other medications hours apart from synthroid. Generally 2 hours but 4 hours for things containing magnesium.

Certain oral medications affect gut function. This can affect our absorption of synthroid. Equally an increase in synthroid can improve gut function and affect the absorption of other oral meds.

A needed beneficial increase in synthroid makes the body function more efficiently which may make it more effective at healing.
