Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 if you are taking thyroid medication do NOT take iron at the same time. they cancel each other out. learned this from a pharmacist when asked about iron cause was taking it and still tired all the time. talked to my dr after that and he didn't know that but made a note and told his other patients taking both to take them at seperate times too. think webmd has an interaction checker where you can enter all the meds and supplements you take and your pharmacist will/should have that info too. Years of rarely having a soda and I treat myself to sixpacks of ginger ale and lemon-lime, the very next day the news says soda's worse for our bodies than anyone knew!! Sigh, such timing I have ! LOL Peace, Angela great grandma recycled, she called it making do. who I am is fine, it's just this body that's disabled! Park yourself in front of a world of choices in alternative vehicles.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 My doctor didn't know that either and I was taking them at the same time twice a day... No wonder I'm so darn tired all the time, and I thought it was just the anemia. Thanks for the info.. From me and my doctor !!

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I am really behind on my emails, sorry. Just an add on, calcium supplements also cancel the absorbtion of thyroid meds, so wait at least 2 hours after taking thyroid meds to take a calcium supplement.
