I thought my cat may have a urinary tract problem so I took him to the vet, but the vet said he only had a few crystals in his urine and gave me medication for him, but i''m still finding these oily spots throughout my apartment and I don''t know what to do because I don''t know what is causing this! please help!
Antacids often used to treat heartburn and other intestinal distress, including calcium products such as TUMS or ROLAIDS and other antacids, may have absorption-inhibiting effects on thyroid medications. People should take levothyroxine four to six hours before or after taking these antacids. Iron supplements (FEOSOL, SLOW FE) have been shown to reduce the effect of levothyroxine in some people, although the effect is highly variable from one person to another.
5 years ago. It is different for everyone how long the meds take to work. You should be scheduled for a blood test at about 6 - 8 weeks after starting levothyroxine. At that point your dosage may be adjusted, and then another blood test at 6 - 8 weeks.I have realized that being hypothyroid is a test of your patience, it all takes time. My levels stabilized about 9 months after starting medication.Some people take longer than that. But hopefully you will see some improvement within the next few weeks.t that point your dosage may be adjusted, and then another blood test at 6 - 8 weeks.
