I'm currently on 25mcg of Tirosint-Sol (oral solution) for early stage Hashimoto's/hypothyroidism. I'm looking to take 1.5mg of levonorgestrel as an emergency contraceptive but want to be sure it'll be safe, and my endocrinologist's office is closed.
Is it safe for me to use the levonorgestrel?
If you go to the Interactions Checker, at the top of this Site, & put in the names of both drugs, it says there are no interactions between them.
Levonorgestrel may not be the best form of emergency contraception. For example, if you are over the 150lb weight limit, or in your fertile time of your menstrual cycle, or it's been longer than 72 hours/3 days, since the unprotected sex, but less than 120 hours/5 days. In those cases you may be better with one of the other methods.
