Are daily multivitamin or energy supplements, such as Revital, safe and effective for managing periodic fatigue in a patient with hypothyroidism who is currently stable on Eltroxin 100 mcg with normal TSH levels?
Since your thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is normal on levothyroxine (Eltroxin), taking a multivitamin like Revital is generally safe. However, it is very important to space them out. Multivitamins often contain minerals like calcium or iron, which can block the absorption of your thyroid medication. Please take your levothyroxine on an empty stomach first thing in the morning, and wait at least four hours before taking any multivitamin. If your fatigue persists, it is a good idea to consult your doctor to check for other common causes, like vitamin D or B12 deficiencies.
