I have read that one should not take iron supplements while on thyroid >medication (levothyroxin). Is it okay to take the iron several hours after
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Joya, I take thyroid meds and have attempted to take pre-natal vit with iron. I have taken them up to 8 hours apart and still have had major problems! Turns out I had to take 4x my throid meds to keep it at the level needed. I take Armour thyroid.

It really depends on the amount of iron you are taking. Be sure to have your TSH, t3 uptake, T3, and T4 and RIA checked about 6 weeks after starting the iron.

On the other hand I can take Centrum vit, gyn recommended-10 hours apart and do fine.

Good Luck Michelle ShellCS@msn.com
