Thyroid meds and Estrogen replacement?

Hi

Anyone taking both??

I'm taking 50mcg of Levoxyl for hypothyroid and have decided to go back to taking Cenestin .45(haven't taken it for a year)

I take the levoxyl in the morning, when would be the best time to take the Cenestin?

TIA

That's a good one to ask of a Pharmacist.

I know that my new compounded thyroid (1/2 grain) seems to have an effect on my estrogen replacement.............I'm suspecting it is lowering my estrogen. I am trying to learn this new balancing act with thyroid and hrt, myself. I do best when I don't take them at the same time....but, will be asking a Pharmacist if there is any literature to back that up.

Let us know what you find out, OK? .................s....Deb

i take both ...synthroid 112mg , and premarin...i take it together..i never thought one could hurt the other hummmmmmm..I had my thyroid levels done last week.. need to call and check on them..I have been feeling tired again..they said one could hurt the other..HRT and thyroid...or maybe i'm dreaming it...NOT... i feel bad alot....hope to feel better at my 6 month point..shewwwwww....but i will ask my pharmacist about when i should take them apart or together...hummmm..i'm glad you brought this up..Thank's dani!!

My pharmacist said it would be a good idea since I take the levoxyl in the morning, I should probably take the estrogen before bed. They do have an affect on each other, so they should be taken at least 4 hours apart.

dani,
I'm glad you spoke to your pharmacist. I also take Levoxyl and estragel. My doctor recommended I take the levoxyl in the am and the estrogen replacement in the pm. I found that my thyroid meds were a little low and needed to be adjusted when I initially started on the estrogen replacement. Good luck to you!

I can't believe how much better I feel. I wasn't really expecting anything. I've only taken the Cenestin for 2 days, but the hot flashes have decreased by alot and no extreme drenching night sweats!!

Wish I hadn't been so stubborn about going back on it, of course I felt fine until I started taking thyroid meds.
