Guest guest Posted November 1, 2002 Report Share Posted November 1, 2002 Hello all, I hope your all feeling good! :-) The reason for this posting is that I have been suffering from a head cold for the past week. Before taking any over the counter medicine, I asked my pharmacist and she told me not to take anything with Pseudoephedrine in it. Unfortunately, it is in almost all cold medicines with nasal decongestants. She said I could use Afrin for my nose. My Endo also said not to use Psuedoephedrine. I haven't used the Afrin yet, but I have been using Vicks VapoRub and saline sprays. This made me start to think about other drugs and their interaction with Synthroid. I don't see my doctor for another week, so I was wondering if anyone else can help me. What drugs can NOT be mixed with Synthroid and why? I appreciate your help. Thank you in advance for your answers. Feel good, Be well, ,N.Y. TT: 8/29/02 2.5 cm Pap RAI: 107mCi 10/08/02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 : The best thing to do is to talk to your Pharmacist. They can tell you exactly what you can and cannot take. It is my understanding that most decongestants are a no no. Also, many packages will have instructions on them stating that you should not use if you are suffering from Thyroid disease.
