Does synthroid mess up your depo shot effectiveness?

Answer 1

One is for thryoid deficiency treatment; and, although, hormonal in mechanism, depo provera acts on the reproductive system...not the lymphatic system. There are requirements that pharmacists provide detailed information about drug interactions. Ask your druggist that fills your synthroid prescription if there is any known or possible negative effects known and reported when used with Depo injections. It should be easily obtainable information and a flag of alert will be shown if there IS a problem with the two.

A Physician's Desk Reference may be helpful to research at a public library or academic library or at your physician's office.

Answer 2

I take L-Thyroxine which is the generic form of Synthroid and I was told, by my doctor, that i shouldn't take any birth control shots, implants, or patches. I had to try 4 different oral contraceptives before I found the one that worked for me (Yasmin). Because they both effect your hormones sometimes they don't work well together. That doesn't mean the effectiveness of one decreases but I would talk your doctor and discuss which method would be best for you.
