Can you take coconut oil while taking synthroid?

It is generally recommended to avoid taking certain substances, including some supplements and foods, within four hours of taking levothyroxine (the generic name for Synthroid). This is because these substances may interfere with the absorption of levothyroxine, reducing its effectiveness.

Coconut oil itself is not known to significantly interfere with the absorption of levothyroxine. However, it is still advisable to take caution and maintain some separation between the time you take your Synthroid dose and when you consume coconut oil or foods containing it. You should always consult with your doctor or pharmacist if you have any specific questions or concerns regarding medications you are taking and any supplements or foods that you wish to consume alongside them.
