I've never taken my levothyroxine except at bed-time. :-)

A huge number of medicines and supplements interfere with levothyroxine - at least to some extent.

Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

levothyroxine

lansoprazole

Applies to: levothyroxine and lansoprazole

Taking levothyroxine with lansoprazole may interfere with the absorption of levothyroxine and reduce its effectiveness. Contact your doctor if you experience signs and symptoms of reduced thyroid function such as fatigue; sluggishness; constipation; depression; hoarseness; unexplained weight gain; sensitivity to cold; pale, dry skin; muscle aches, weakness, or tenderness; joint pain, stiffness, or swelling; heavier than normal menstruation periods; or brittle fingernails and hair. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
