Can Actalin Be Taken With Levothyroxine?
Question: Can I take Actalin while I am taking Levothyroxine
Brief Answer:
No
Detailed Answer:
To the best of my knowledge, there is no published scientific report in credible medical literature that supports the use of actalin for the treatment of an under-active thyroid ('hypothyroidism').
Expert thyroid authorities worldwide have time and again emphasised that, according to current knowledge of thyroid function, only levothyroxine alone typically suffices for the treatment of this condition.
So Actalin is certainly not recommended nor proven in robust and rigorous clinical trials that are deployed for study of medications to treat human medical problems.
That being said, levothyroxine anyways is supposed to be taken 60 minutes before breakfast (and any other pills), with water.
