Hi Dr.7070,
The content of botnical slimming weight loss pills are not very much clear and it is difficult to make sure wehter this will have any type of interaction with the medication for your thyroid.
Hypothyroidism is itself a cause for the weight gain in many people, so if your this condition can be controlled with the proper medication with Levothyroxin, I don't think you would require any other thing for lossing weight. I would suggest you to stick to the medication properly and you will control your weight also.
Other wise try to consult your doctor with the botanical slimming weight loss pills and it all details to make sure this can have an interaction with your regular medication.
Thanks and take care.
