Can I take Anastrozole and Levothyroxine together?

Why this happens

Anastrozole (used for breast cancer) and levothyroxine (used for an underactive thyroid) are processed by different pathways in the body. They do not interfere with each other's absorption, metabolism, or excretion, nor do they have opposing or overlapping effects on the body's systems.

What you should do

You can continue to take both medications as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually best to take levothyroxine on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, at least 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast or taking other medications like anastrozole, to ensure it is absorbed properly. Always inform your doctor if you notice any new symptoms or changes in your health.
