Hello,
Available data doesn't suggest existence of ny interaction between thyroxine and norethisterone,however it may influence the test for thyroid functions but these changes are slight and remain within the normal laboratory change.
You have to take thyroxine empty stomach in morning while norethisterone is consumed after meals.
Thanks
