RE: Levothroid and Calcium

[Guest guest]

I went to see my endocrinologist last week because of weird fluctuations in

my thyroid TSH levels. I don't know about levothyroid, but the doctor says

synthroid medication should be taken in the morning. And, she says to

separate calcium from synthroid by 6-8 hours. Also, synthroid must be

separated from iron by 6-8 hours. So, if you can't take calcium with iron,

either, when the heck are you supposed to get all your calcium in?

(Thyroid hormone)

with Calcium. I would like to know where the individual got the information.

I

tried to find it on the Levothroid web site but couldn't find any

information

there.

I take my Levothroid early in the morning and usually take Calcium/E/A & D at

the same time or within an hour.

If I have to wait 4 hours I won't take any of my Calcium until the

afternoon.

Considering that I take 4 cals per day, spacing them out in the afternoon/

evening is too difficult.>>
