Symptoms Began With New Medication
If you happen to experience the above mentioned symptoms, only after starting a new medication it is possible that this medication is the culprit. For instance, some medications such as Aluminum-containing antacids, Didanosine (an HIV antiviral drug), and Sucralfate (a common antacid), resin binders, calcium carbonate, iron, and sodium polystyrene sulfonate, have been found to lessen the body’s ability to absorb the thyroid hormones. Therefore, speak to your doctor about the possibility that these medications may be influencing your thyroid’s ability to function properly.
