Consumer:Using rifAMPin together with thyroid desiccated may decrease the effects of thyroid desiccated. Contact your doctor if you experience tiredness sluggishness, weakness, memory problems, depression, difficulty concentrating, and constipation. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications. 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: Rifampin may decrease exogenous levothyroxine plasma concentrations resulting in elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and exacerbation of hypothyroidism. The mechanism may be induction of hepatic CYP450 enzymes responsible for levothyroxine metabolism. Liothyronine may be similarly affected.
MANAGEMENT: Clinical monitoring of patient response, including laboratory serum TSH concentrations, is recommended. Adjustment of thyroid hormone dosage may be indicated when initiating or discontinuing rifampin therapy.
