Is It Safe To Take Ashwagandha Along With Thyronorm 25 Mcg?

Hi, this is priya. Recently I have been diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism with TSH level 20, but both T3 and T4 are in normal reference range. My doctor prescribed me thyronorm 25 mcg to be taken daily on empty stomach. Is this normalize my TSH and hormone level? I have also read about the ayurvedic medicine ashwagandha which will help to normalize the function of thyroid gland. Is it safe to take ashwagandha with thyronorm? or shall I continue with either of them? Please suggest me the best way to normalize the function of my thyroid gland.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As far as my clinical experience is concerned, there are no interactions observed between Ashwagandha and Thyronorm, which can be consumed safely together. Thyroid supplements return thyroid functions to normal range within some time period depending upon the individual response, but then maintenance dosage is required to be continued as per guidance of your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
