Can I take Synthroid at the same time as the iron supplement prescribed to me in the morning?

Yes, it is recommended to separate the intake of Synthroid and iron supplements. Taking them together can reduce the effectiveness of your Synthroid. You can take the iron supplements on an empty stomach, 1 hour before a meal, or 2 hours after a meal. If the iron causes digestive discomfort, it is best to take it with a meal. It is suggested to space out the intake of Synthroid and iron by 3 to 4 hours. You could take the Synthroid at midday and your multivitamin at dinner time.
