Is it safe to start taking Becosules for my low vitamin B12 before seeing a doctor for my severely underactive thyroid (TSH level of 38), and what precautions should I keep in mind?
It is generally safe to start taking your Vitamin B-complex (Becosules) for your low B12. It will not harm your thyroid. However, because your TSH level of 38 indicates an underactive thyroid, you should see your doctor soon to start proper treatment. One important precaution: B-complex supplements often contain biotin, which can temporarily interfere with thyroid blood test results. To ensure accurate future tests, please stop taking Becosules for 3 to 5 days before any scheduled thyroid blood draw.
