Brief Answer:
Can be taken

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Levothyroxine has mild stimulative effect of intestinal movement. This effect is not seen in all. If you had the same, then taking Senokot can show some increased effect of the latter. The synergistic effect is not too serious to consider avoiding co administration.

Rest medications do not interact with Senokot.

You can take senokot as and when required.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
