Based on my research, there are no drug interactions listed between these two medications; deeming them safe to take together.

Levothyroxine however, does have a 'food interaction'. Quoted below is the information that you may want to be aware of:

"The timing of meals relative to your levothyroxine dose can affect absorption of the drug. Therefore, levothyroxine should be taken on a consistent schedule with regard to time of day and relation to meals so as to maintain steady blood levels. In addition, absorption of levothyroxine may be decreased by foods such as soybean flour, cotton seed meal, walnuts, dietary fiber, calcium, and calcium fortified juices. These foods should be avoided within several hours of dosing if possible."

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Levothyroxine Details

I hope this info helps!

My doctor told me not to take them together. She moved my Prevacid to supper time and my levo to be taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
