Question

Can you drink alcohol while taking thyroid medication?

Answer 1

Yes, you can drink alcohol but you need to make sure not to do it within two hours of taking the thyroid medication so it doesn't interfere. As someone who has a thyroid condition, I can tell you that you need to watch how much you drink because if you are a hypothyroid patient you may be very sensitive to the effects of alcohol. So it is best to keep any drinking to a minimum. Also, it is a benefit to you to wait until the medication brings your thyroid level back to normal. Your body will be able to process the alcohol better if you are in optimal health. hope this helps
