Pharmacy - Taking Levothyroxine


Expert: Eric Brandt - 3/30/2009

Question
I have been taking 1 Prilosec OTC every morning for 5 years about 1 hour before breakfast. Six weeks ago I started taking Levothyroxine-50MCG.  Is it OK to take both of these at the same time.

Thank you, Jane

Answer
Hi Jane,
Levothyroxine should be taken on its own on an empty stomach. Having said that I know people take all their morning meds together. So if you ae cosistent then that would be ok too.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
Eric Brandt, B.Sc. Pharm
