Question : Could thyronorm and ipill react?

Answered by Dr. Vivek Chail (43 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Thyronorm and iPill do not react with each other

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in details.
Thyronorm contains levothyroxine which is thyroid hormone replacement. Thyroxine is a normal substance required for functioning of the human body.
iPill contains levonorgestrel 1.5 mg which does not allow pregnancy to happen.

Thyronorm and iPill do not react with each other.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Brief Answer:
Breast feeding in not affected by iPill

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.

Using progestin-only emergency contraceptive pills like iPill will not cause any problems in breast feeding.

However, use of emergency pills must be done only once in 2 to 3 months and in case of emergency only as it can cause irregular periods and cysts in ovary if used frequently.

Hope your query is answered.

Brief Answer:
There can be early or late periods in most women who take it

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.

It is important to know that iPill contains levonorgestrel 1.5 mg and this is a high dose. It can cause early or delayed bleeding in most women for the next two cycles. Therefore it is difficult to say when exactly you will have periods now after taking iPill. This is usual and expected in those who take it.

Hope your query is answered.
