Can I Take Diphenhydramine When On Medications For Thyroid?

I have a shoulder injury so it has been hard for me to sleep lately. I was thinking of taking diphenhydramine hci25mg to help me fall asleep and hopefully stay asleep for at least five hours. I don t take any medication except a med for my thyroid in the mornings.

Hello,
Good day. Sorry to hear about the shoulder injury.

Yes, you can take diphenhydramine when you take medicines for thyroid. It doesn't have any major interaction with Thyroxine. But nake sure that you take your Thyroxine in the empty stomach in the morning. Wish you a speedy recovery
