| Re: Iron Pills and Thyroid meds
This is absolutely true... To sum up:
Thyroid meds should be taken at least one hour before or two hours after eating, but keep the following in mind, too:
Thyroid meds should be taken at least 4 hours away (I think 8 is safer) from any Iron supplementm calcium supplement or calcium rich food, antacid containing aluminum or calcium, ulcer meds such as carafate, birth control or other hormones containing estrogen.
That is a good start to taking your thyroid meds to get the best benefit from them.
