I just started taking both of these pills and I need to know how long to wait to take the other pill. Both pills are to be taken on an empty stomach and first thing in the morning. Plus I need to take calcium for the osteopenia. ## Hi Jolene, Based on my research, there are no drug interactions listed between Atelvia (risedronate) and Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium). So with that in mind, I don't think there would be any problems taking the two tablets at once or within the same time-frame. You are right about food though. It should be avoided at the time of your dosing, since it can supposedly diminish the absorption of each medication. I hope this info helps!
