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.
Avoid taking antacids for more than two weeks. Consult your doctor if you need to use antacids for more than 14 days; you may have stomach ulcers, which can be treated with stronger acid-lowering drugs. Avoid relying on antacids for symptom relief because they only work on a short-term basis.
