Thyroid Medication And Alcohol Posted: 02-17-04 16:25pm
My thyroid was removed as a result of a
malignant neoplasm ( cancer). I take
levoxyl as a replacement, which is the
same as synthroid and I am assuming it is
similar to all thyroid pills. Alcohol
consumption is allowed but is not
recommended (especially in excess). If
I were you I would try to stay away from
it on a regular basis, but as far as the
occasional drink or party, it should be
fine as the alcohol is metabolized by the
liver, not the thyroid.
