Effects vary by individual and may take several weeks to become noticeable.

Store Tirosint in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture. Keep this medication out of reach of children and pets. Avoid crushing or chewing the capsules; swallow whole with water. Do not take additional thyroid medication unless directed by a healthcare provider. Report any unusual symptoms to a medical professional promptly.

What does Levothyroxine Sodium interact with?

Certain medications, supplements, and foods can affect how levothyroxine sodium works. Antacids, calcium supplements, and iron preparations may interfere with absorption if taken too close to dosing.
