Levoxyl Interactions Explained
The following sections explain in detail the potentially negative interactions that can occur when
Levoxyl is combined with any of the drugs listed above.
Antacids or Gas-Relieving Medications
Antacids can bind to Levoxyl in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed into the body. Make sure to separate Levoxyl and antacids or gas-relieving medications by at least four hours.
Antidepressant Medications
Combining Levoxyl with some
antidepressants may change the amount of Levoxyl your body needs, and your healthcare provider may need to adjust your
Levoxyl dosage. Also, taking certain antidepressants with Levoxyl may increase the risk of heart problems, such as an irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Be sure to check with your healthcare provider before taking these medications together.
Calcium Supplements
Calcium can bind to Levoxyl in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed into the body. Make sure to separate Levoxyl and calcium by at least four hours.
Certain Seizure Medications
Taking Levoxyl with some
seizure medications may change the amount of Levoxyl your body needs. As a result, your healthcare provider may need to adjust your Levoxyl dosage.
Cholestyramine
Cholestyramine can bind to Levoxyl in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed into the body. Make sure to separate Levoxyl and cholestyramine by at least four hours.
Colestipol
Colestipol can bind to Levoxyl in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed into the body. Make sure to separate Levoxyl and colestipol by at least four hours.
Diabetes Medications

diabetes medications. Check with your healthcare provider before taking Levoxyl if you are taking
diabetes medications.
