Flucloxacillin +Thyroxene

[Annamaria]

can i take both of these drugs together as both have to be taken an hour before food?

As you have had no answers so far, thought I'd put my oar in.

I did try to find an answer when you first posted but could not find anything relevant. All I did find was that Flucloxacillin is rarely prescribed in some other countries!

My suggestions are:

Consider taking the thyroxine before going to bed (as I do) instead of in the morning;

Or

Consider taking them together and simply being as vigilant as you can for any suggestion that your thyroid levels are changing. And if there is any noticeable effect take stock of the situation.

Sorry not to have come up with anything more helpful. And you have probably finished the flucloxacillin my the time I have answered.

All the best

what i have done rod is take the thyoxene in the morning and take the flucloxacillin an hour later.....only have another 2 days on them anyway.
