I cannot find the full details at this moment - and it depends precisely which version of Covonia you have been using. Some are recommended not to use with levothyroxine at all.

Doubt whether it is a dramatic effect - but possibly could affect test.

Have found more information:

medicines.org.uk/emc/medici...

Probably very little effect but, yes, do mention it (doubt they will have any idea what to do or say about it), and if results are in any way surprising, well, this could have had an impact.

Normally I would have suggested getting in touch with the people who make it - but their web-site is not available so have not found email address, phone, etc.
