What Are Effects Of Taking Levothyroxine And Melatonin Together?

I take 75 mcg of levothyroxine. I have had a lot of hot flashes and read that melatonin can help you sleep and reduce hot flashes. I was wondering how the 2 drugs might interact? Will the melatonin negate or interfere with the effectiveness of the thyroid medicine?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are no known interactions between these medications.

You should be able to use them safely together with additive side effects.

If you remain unsure then you may want to consult your doctor.

I hope this helps
