PrecautionsOther conditions and LevothyroxineCertain people should not take Levothyroxine. This includes people who have had an allergic reaction to it (or any of the ingredients in the tablets) in the past. It is not suitable for anyone who has an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). People with adrenal gland problems should also not take Levothyroxine. The patient information leaflet contains more information. If you are unsure, speak to your doctor or pharmacist for advice.Interactions with other medicinesA number of medicines can affect the way Levothyroxine works or vice versa. Common interacting medicines include anti-epileptic medicines, beta-blockers (for heart problems), certain medicines for high blood pressure, and corticosteroids. Some interacting medicines can still be taken with Levothyroxine but your dose may need to be adjusted.Some people worry about hair loss as a result of this medication. The hair loss is usually a result of an underactive thyroid but the hair loss can continue for a while after starting the tablets. Hair usually regrows after you have treatment with Levothyroxine but it can take several months.See the patient information leaflet or speak to your pharmacist if you are worried or unsure about drug interactions.Content Reviewed: 24/12/21
