Hello, I started taking Glucophage Yesterday and I have been taking synthroid for almost 6 months because I also Have Hypo.
My ? is do any of you take both of these?
I just saw on a web site that they could have "Possible drug interactions when taken together"
Any info welcome
Mellie
I don't take both, but I am pretty sure there are people who do. Low thyroid is fairly common in PCOS, as is taking glucophage... I know I know of people taking meds for both, though I am not sure syntharoid is the thyroid component they are on. If there is an interaction, your endocrinologist should be able to suggest an alternative.

I take glucophage, Unithroid (T4 like Synthroid) and a special T3 forumla. I have not heard anything about drug interactions using these together. I have been on both for close to a year, and thyroid hormones for three. Do you mind sharing the link where you saw this info? I would be very interested to read it.
Thanks!
