Interactions between your selected drugs
levothyroxine ↔ sucralfate
Applies to: Levothroid (levothyroxine), sucralfate
Limited clinical data suggest that sucralfate may interfere with the absorption of thyroid hormone in some patients. The clinical significance of this interaction is unknown. Administering sucralfate twice a day instead of four times a day and separating thyroid supplements from sucralfate by eight hours may avoid a potential interaction. The patient's clinical response should be monitored.
No other interactions were found between your selected drugs.
Note: this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist. ALWAYS consult with your doctor or pharmacist.
Other drugs that your selected drugs interact with
* pantoprazole interacts with more than 50 other drugs.
* sucralfate interacts with more than 80 other drugs.
* Levothroid (levothyroxine) interacts with more than 100 other drugs.
