ModerateLevothyroxine + Omeprazole

Can you take Levothyroxine and Omeprazole together?

This page explains what happens if Levothyroxine and Omeprazole are taken together, according to official sources.

What happens

Decreased levothyroxine absorption via altered gastric pH

Omeprazole suppresses gastric acid secretion, impairing optimal dissolution and absorption of levothyroxine in the proximal small intestine.

Recommended management

Take levothyroxine on an empty stomach at least 4 hours apart from omeprazole, or switch to an evening bedtime regimen. Retest TSH in 6-8 weeks.
