armour thyroid food interactions

Is it okay to take Armour thyroid with Xanax? with Advil? with a multi vitamin? with 5 HTP? ( If not, how far apart should the meds be spaced out?) Is it okay to take Xanax with with Advil? with a multi vitamin? with 5 HTP? (If not, how far apart should the meds be spaced out?) I think the Armour has to be spaced out with the multi vitamin but Im not sure about the others...

I have no idea if the doctor read my list of meds or not. But I do not want to take this if there is going to be an interaction. I also take thyroid meds-- armour and have endometriosis so I will take Advil and Tylenol for the pain from endo. I also have Nasonex and Allegra for allergies. If anyone knows how these drugs will interact with one another please let me know. Also I had depakote but it made me feel like a zombie will Topamax do the same since it is also an anticonvulsant?

joint pain and moody. Started Armour 11-06 - have some relief. Developed acid and bloating for a year. Very uncomfortable. Is there a solid connection to hypothyroid and acid/GI disorders? I can not find anything to put them together - but never had this been an issue for me prior. Also drug interactions - Acid meds and thyroid - also Xanax. Is there a balance? Could mixing these up be the culpruit? I am trying to find a balance. Diet, exercise and stress relief. Any advice?

I have read a few articles on interactions of Armour Thyroid and Xenical ( Alli (Orlistat) but nothing to my knowledge has been added as safety measures yet on that labeling of those two drugs together. I can't imagine it being much different though and it may be wise to consider the above information for you - even if you are an Armour thyroid patient. I haven't been too impressed with this product since it came out for weight loss.

s always best to separate other drugs from your thyroid medication by a few hours, as some may inhibit absorption of the thyroid med; call your pharmacy for information on drug interactions.

I am in the waiting process for blood work, having had my Armour changed from 135 mg to 120 to 90 and to 75 and still not feeling the best. Some heart palpitations, but not as often as with the higher dosage, but not feeling myself that much. Anyway, I think I may have a sinus infection - lots of sinus drainage and feeling really down. But with the thyroid problem, it is hard to tell what is from what these days.

be sure to take your thyroid meds by it self 1hr before food first thing in the am is best! I would wait at least 3 hrs before taking the others.

No two people are alike when it comes to thyroid meds and how our bodies react to them. Some people do fine on one drug while others do not. You are also on a low dose which may or may not have any effect on you. The first thing you should do is make sure your doc runs a full thyroid blood work up on you including Free T4, Free T3, TSH, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies.

Because my doctor would not renew my meds until I came back in for tests, I went a month without my Armour Thyroid before the last tests, taking health food store thyroid glandular during that time. My doctor said my tests were off but they look pretty good to me. The T3 and T4 are within Range. The THS is way high. Is that a real factor when the T4 and T3 are good? Free T4(.80-1.80) . recent .88 last year .78 Free T3 ( 2.0-4.4) recent- 2.6 last year 2.4 TSH (.40-4.5) recent -12.73 last year 4.

Thanks Barb. That is really helpful advice since I take Armour Thyroid and need to take Vitamin D as well since my levels are low especially in the winter.

Take Armour with food? No.................Never take Armour with food. It is to be taken on an empty stomach. If taken with food, T3 will dominate over T4 too much in your body. What reason did you hear/read that supports the statement "Armour is better with food"?

TT 9/13. Tried various does of Synthroid. Have been on Armour Thyroid for two weeks. I take 60 mg in the morning and 30 mg around mid day. Question is 1. do I need to take both of these daily pills at the exact same time each day or can I vary by 15 to 20 mins with no ill effects? 2. I can do the am dose and wait an hour to eat, no problem. But the 2nd dose is tricky........do I take on an empty stomach and wait or is it ok to take with lunch? Thanks for any help.

Are any of the OTHER meds listed above known to cause thyroid issues or interactions with Armour Thyroid, including possibly impairing systemic absorption? QUESTION: Would grapefruit juice potentiate (increase) or block the effect of Armour Thyroid? Avoid it? RECENT LAB RESULTS: TSH 4.88 uIU/mL (Range = 0.450 - 4.500) - High Thyroxine (T4) 7.9 ug/dL (Range = 4.5 - 12.

I have tried synthroid years ago and it didn't help at all, infact I was more tired, so I took myself off and haven't been on meds for years. I just started with a new GP and we spoke about armour thyroid meds, I have started, it has been about 1 1/2 weeks. Don't really feel a change yet. Wondering how other people feel about the armour and your experiences.

Armour's function is to provide hormones that your thyroid can no longer produce. Armour has no "direct" effect on cholesterol; and does nothing for liver function. High cholesterol is very common with hypothyroidism. Perhaps you need an increase in your Armour, in order to bring hormone levels back to normal, which may have a normalizing effect on cholesterol levels. If you have current thyroid labs, please post them, so members can better assess your testing treatment.

I have recently been diagnosed with hypo thyroid. I have been put on 30mg of armour thyroid medicine. I am overweight and have been trying to lose weight. Since I've been on this medicine, I have hunger pains constantly, can't get enough to eat. I have called my dr. Of course he says it's not the med. I don't know what to do. I have already put on 4 lbs in 7 days. What other meds should I look into. HELP!!!!

I would like to know is there any food that I need to avoid since I have thyroid cancer? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/264741'>Food & Medicine intake</a>.

s best to separate thyroid medication from other meds by at least a couple hours or so, in order to let the thyroid med be better absorbed. Calcium and/or iron supplements should be separated by at least 4 hours from thyroid med. This is particularly important with the synthroid, which should be taken first thing in the morning, with a full cup of water, on an empty stomach, then nothing to eat/drink for at least 30-60 min.

Can I take armour thyroid with food or must it be taken with an empty stomach? What would be the determining factor for prescribing armour thyroid vs synthroid (and maybe cytomel)? I appreciate your help very much. It seems like it has taken forever to get the right dosage and help.

I read something similar on another thyroid board. But one person called a sales rep at Armour and they posted back that it wasn't true. So who knows, right! I personally don't have any experience with other NDT's but from memory of their posts some are on Naturethroid and Thyroid Gold. I am sure there are others...... This came from your pharmacist or the pharmacist assistant? Keep me updated!

Great info. Your 9am dose; on empty stomach or after food? 4pm; food on stomach? OR, is food intake irrelevant in your case. It seemed when I "played" around with this stuff time/dose wise, it was very dependent upon what time I took it and when I last ate. Any info is helpful at this point. Thanks so much for your response...

When some place says the have Armour in capsules, they are misleading you. They are copying as close to Armour using Dessicated Thyroid Powder and putting it in capsules. Its not the same.

s the difference between OTC thyroid supplements and Armour? Are thyroids processed differently? I thought the thyroid itself is a gland, so how can the stuff in an OTC supplement be glandular but not contain much thyroid hormones?

I was diagnosed a week ago with hypothyroidism and have only been on the Armour Thyroid since this past Wednesday, so I'm new to this. For the last couple of days, I've been taking it sublingually rather than swallowing. I just read an article entitled "Should You Take Your Thyroid Hormone With Food vs. An Empty Stomach?" by Mary Shomon (Google to find it, since external links are apparently prohibited here).

If you are allergic to pork can you take Armour? I am on Tirosint, have been having trouble breathing and started bloating in the last few days. I feel like everyday is a nightmare instead of real life, and need a nap in between 3-5 in the afternoon. I am 6 weeks post TT surgery. I wash also having a novocane feeling in my throat and numb cheeks but that has decreased today, but feel like I'm having an allergy attack all day long.

I was started on Synthroid and stayed on it until 2010, I then started taking Aumour Thyroid 60mg. My TSH levels were too low so the doctor increased it to 75mg. A couple of weeks ago I had blood test done and my results were TSH 16.940, T4 4.6, T3 221. I have been feeling really off balance, fatigued, loss of appetite, mindless and anxious at times. has anyone experience these type of feelings or having their levels this high while taking Aumour Thyroid.
