Synthroid and L-methylfolate drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium) and L-methylfolate (folic acid). Common drug interactions include fatigue among females and therapeutic response unexpected among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Synthroid and L-methylfolate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 41 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Synthroid?
Synthroid has active ingredients of levothyroxine sodium. It is often used in hypothyroidism. eHealthMe is studying from 249,198 Synthroid users. Check the latest studies of Synthroid.
What is L-methylfolate?
L-methylfolate has active ingredients of folic acid. It is often used in depression. eHealthMe is studying from 619 L-methylfolate users. Check the latest studies of L-methylfolate.
41 people who take Synthroid and L-methylfolate together, and have interactions are studied.
