Consumer:Using carBAMazepine together with thyroid desiccated can decrease the effects of thyroid desiccated. This can cause fatigue, weight gain, constipation, and low blood pressure. Talk with your doctor before using carBAMazepine while you are using thyroid desiccated. You may need a dose adjustment and may need to check your thyroid levels more often. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: Carbamazepine and phenytoin may decrease exogenous thyroid plasma concentrations resulting in elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and possible exacerbation of hypothyroidism. The mechanism may be induction of hepatic CYP450 enzymes responsible for thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) metabolism. In addition, T3 and T4 may be displaced from thyroxine binding globulin by phenytoin. Clinical data are limited.
MANAGEMENT: Clinical monitoring of patient response, including laboratory serum TSH concentrations, is recommended. Adjustment of the thyroid replacement dosage may be indicated when initiating or discontinuing phenytoin or carbamazepine therapy.
