Elthyroxin tablet should be taken on empty stomach with plane or luke warm water. No other drugs should be taken along with it. Selenium, lycopene , etc present in lycorup may interfere with the iodopine absorption that is present in elthyroxin this leads to higher levels of TSH and causing more symptoms in the body. Once the TSH LEVEL comes to normal weakness , and everything will be gone.
