Brief Answer:
Thyroid
Detailed Answer:
To the best of my knowledge of published scientific literature, there is no major impact of these medications on the thyroid.
One of them is levothyroxine which is actually thyroid medication itself.
Could you please clarify what you mean by low thyroid level 175...?
I see your levothyroxine dose is 200 mcg
May I know your blood levels of TSH and free T4 please, in order to ascertain iof this dose of 200 mcg is appropriate for you
The medications listed above are not known to significantly alter the thyroid dose requirements
