synthroid

1129232 tn?1360800358 I'm wondering if anyone knows if having a cup of coffee or milk 1 hour after having my synthroid pill can affect the medication. My endo told me to make sure not to take any vitamins with iron or calcium for at least 4 hours after I take the pill. I definitely do not take my vitamins until a good 6 hours after synthroid but given that milk has calcium, i'm wondering if having milk can also affect the pill.
Avatar n tn I'm wonedering if anyone has anything on caffiene interfereing with the absorbtion of the synthroid in the morning. I usually take my pill about an hour after coffee. I don't eat though until at least an hour after that.
1274654 tn?1270932948 Has anyone had as hard a time with coffee and synthroid. I am on 112 mg and get hyperactive and dry mouth with coffee.
1026267 tn?1257591273 I had a TT so must take Synthroid every day. I am an early riser and have to eat/have coffee fairly soon after I get up. My dr had said to allow 30minutes to an hour before you eat food/beverages with 30 minutes being the min. No way I can wait an hour. Tried it and it was a disaster. So I take the pill, take a shower and by the time I'm through cooking breakfast 30 minutes has passed. The main thing is consistency.
Avatar f tn I have a coffee...take the synthroid and then have a 2nd coffee. Consistancy is the key. Do what you have done from day one. Its never affected my levels regarding the coffees although I am super drug sensitive. I reckon I could have a full-on breakfast, take Thyroxin and it would still absorb lol !
561706 tn?1333947274 Does taking Synthroid with coffee (caffeine) change it's effectiveness? I've read "empty stomach" recommended and "usually mornings, but I'm starting to get confused. I do try to take it at the same time - mornings- but I'm not sure if having coffee is diminishing it's effectiveness. My TSH was 7.8 one month ago.
Avatar f tn Are there certain foods that I should avoid to prevent weight gain? Should I cut my alcohol and coffee consumption? I feel bloated especially at the end of the day. I've been on Synthroid 25mg for a week now and I feel my face is puffy and round. I also have an increased appetite! I'm 55 years old and in menopause and I really don't want to gain weight. I'm relatively physically active. Walks every day.
Avatar n tn It is the temperature of the coffee that can affect the absorption of the synthroid. It is recommended to take it with water.
Avatar f tn Having thyroid totally removed Feb.4th of this year I am now on synthroid 0.1 mg rxpak 100. Will having milk in coffee cause any problems with the medication? Usually I take med. around 6:30 am to 7:00 am and then have 1 to two cups of coffee about an hr. after with about 4 tb. milk. I would also like to know why it is taking cough medication or decongestents is unsafe, or are these some thing that can be used but at certain times?
2121656 tn?1395674749 I started taking 25 mgs. of synthroid on Sept. 4th, and right away I've had relieve from a lot of my symptoms, including indigestion & heartburn. Probably is the placebo effect. Either way I'm still symptom free except for the heartburn, that's actually worse than before taking synthroid. I am having it all day. Therefore, I'm not sure if the synthroid is the cause or if it may be caused from me drinking my morning coffee without taking the protonix.
Avatar m tn I take my synthroid with my morning coffee. Is that ok. or should I be taking it with water only?
Avatar n tn If I take my synthroid on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, do I need to wait before drinking my morning coffee?
200220 tn?1361951554 Guys I have another question to ask. I take my synthroid at 7:00 am. I like to eat oatmeal (boxed) for breakfast. It has vitamens in it. I also like to eat yogurt for breakfast. I am GF and the choices are more limited. I would like to know how soon do you eat or take your vitamins and what do you eat. Do you eat yogurt or oatmeal. If so how long after synthroid do you eat. I am eating jello with oranges in it right now and even it has vit. c in it. Hope you have some good suggestions.
87651 tn?1259602403 Have been on Synthroid for 5 days now and I wanted to know if I can drink milk right away after dose or wait? I thought it was waiting 4 hours? I took mymeds today at 6:15am and had a bowl of cereal and glass of milk around 10am. Should I wait longer in the long run?
Avatar m tn I started taking 50 mc Synthroid 3 days ago at 8 am. Can I have coffee and cream at 9 am. And how about walnuts?
252327 tn?1250183976 30 before I eat anything. I have never thought of taking it at night since they want your stomach empty when you take it. This is the only way for the synthroid to go through out your system.
Avatar n tn m on day 4 after my TT and I feel much better, but I am faithfully taking my synthroid. Also, make sure you take your meds at the same time each day (or as close as you possibly can), and nothing to eat or drink 1-4 hrs afterwards. Dairy can interfere with the absorption of synthroid, making it not work as it is intended to. I drink coffee in the morning with powder ~non~ dairy creamer.
Avatar m tn i no longer take tramadol and take synthroid 1 hr before coffee..my last blood work was good.....anything over .050 and my chest starts hurting.....any help greatly appreciated...
Avatar n tn t ingest anything for an hour after taking synthroid (though that could only be coffee---I know that one for sure) and on the other hand, recall someone suggesting that the reference to calcium was mostly applicable to the high amounts found in a supplement as opposed to the relatively small amount found in cereal/coffee etc.
Avatar f tn Now today Friday- I still stayed away from all caffeine, choc, coffee, etc. But I took my synthroid (7 full days of no med) and I have felt a few palpitations and feeling not right. Could this be the Synthroid? I had ultrasound of my thyroid and blood work in October and was spot on and everything looked great. So is this the medicine, is my body saying it needs a break from this? Should I look at getting off of the med and starting at scratch?
393685 tn?1425812522 he told me that it didnt make a difference, in fact you can eat with your thyroid meds (taking synthroid).
Avatar f tn Had right lobe removed three months later placed on synthroid. Having worst panic attacks ever.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Synthroid .075 daily for years and I feel it helps considerably. Before I started taking it I was depressed, tired, and found it hard to concentrate on my university studies. I have been gaining weight for years though despite eating properly (truthfully, as guided by a dietician). I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and (Gen) Metformin was prescribed.
Avatar f tn I wait four hours for ALL medication/vitamins after taking my Synthroid/Cytomel. I also wait an hour before eating or drinking coffee. I just drink water.
