Hi,

1. Taking Meloxicam together with Metformin can potentiate the risk of a serious condition called lactic acidosis.
2. Taking Tegretol together with Dilantin, Synthroid and Lipitor decrease their therapeutic effects in controlling seizures, hypothyroidism and high cholesterol levels respectively.
3. Dilantin can also decrease the therapeutic effects of Synthyroid, Lipitor and Metformin when taken all together.
4. Meloxicam can also lower the blood pressure lowering effects of Diovan when taken together.

Synthroid should always be taken on an empty stomach one hour before breakfast.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
