Does L-Thyroxine Interact With Omeprazole And Escitalopram?

default
Posted on Mon, 3 Oct 2016
Question: Can I take my omeprazole and my esitalopram with l-thyroxine? Also can I take my vitamin and calcium and b- 12? Do I have to wait 4 hrs before taking my calcium or eat my cottage cheese that I normally eat for breakfast? Can I take my Brnifiber in my coffee or do I have have to wait with that too? I think I will start drinking my coffee black and eat what I normally do and take the thyroid at midday 4 hrs after breakfast. Will that work?

Brief Answer:
Yes it is possible

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

Omeprazole need to be taken at the empty stomach while L thyroxine and escitalopram can be taken together. Regarding B-12 supplements it can also be taken together with other medications.

I do not think you need to wait for 4 hours to take calcium or eat cottage cheese as two hours is enough gap between these medications and calcium.

Regarding coffee and other things there is no problem but take your thyroid medication early in morning.

I hope this answers your question.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
