Can I take synthroid with my Materna supplement in the morning?

34-year-old woman3 years ago
Hello, I am 14 weeks pregnant. I have been taking the Materna supplement since the beginning of my pregnancy and I am being closely monitored by my doctor for hypothyroidism. I started taking syntroids to help control it during the pregnancy. I have read that it is not advisable to take the synthroid at the same time as a supplement.

Hello,
Indeed, Synthroid interacts with iron and calcium, among others. When taken at the same time, the supplements reduce the absorption, and thus the effectiveness, of Synthroid. It is therefore preferable to take them at different times of the day. A gap of 2 to 3 hours is sufficient to avoid interaction.
