In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Ask your doctor before using thyroid desiccated together with methIMAzole. Using these medications together may decrease the effects of thyroid desiccated. MethIMAzole decreases thyroid hormone and may cause your body to produce too low of levels of thyroid hormone. Therefore, the use of methIMAzole and thyroid desiccated should generally be avoided due to their opposing properties. 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:

GENERALLY AVOID: Antithyroid agents such as methimazole and propylthiouracil can affect the therapeutic response to thyroid hormone therapy. These agents decrease thyroid hormone secretion, which may result in hypothyroidism. Conversely, thyroid hormone therapy can antagonize the pharmacologic effects of antithyroid agents by supplying an exogenous source of the hormone.

MANAGEMENT: Concomitant use of antithyroid agents and thyroid hormones should generally be avoided due to mutually negating effects.
