Question
If you are taking a thyroid pill would it be harmful to take Dong Quai pills at the same time?

Answer
You did not say what thyroid pill you are taking, if it is a prescription or an herbal so it is hard to answer this question.

Warnings for Dong Quai which I know of is
Do not usre during pregnancy or with excessive menstrual flow.
Not to be used during the period as it increases mentral bleeding.
