Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Hi Everyone I am just wondering if anyone is aware whether T3 is not absorbed properly if taken near ferrous sulphate as is levothyroxine. I take my levothyroxine at night and the T3 liothyronine in the morning. I know I need to leave 4 hours between the levothyroxine and ferrous sulphate but wasn't sure if the same applied to the liothyronine, it is becoming quite tricky trying to fit in the two doses of ferrous sulphate as well and leave the 4 hour gaps, if I could take a ferrous sulphate at the same time as the liothyronine it would be a lot more convenient. Anyway just thought I would ask. Love to u all Lizzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 HI Lizzie NEVER take any form of iron any where near taking thyroxine - or liothyronine. I would take your Liothyronine before your breakfast (when you first wake - say 8.00a.m., then take one tablet of Ferrous Sulphate at around noon, another at 4.00p.m. and your thyroxine when you go to bed. I know it's a pain, but that is the best way to do it. If you take iron and thyroid hormone together, it stops the thyroxine being absorbed. You shouldn't take Calcium near thyroxine either.
