Can Taking Levothyroxine Be Safe While Taking Thyroxine?

I take thyroxine 175mg daily. My gp told me she was giving me a anti inflmitary to help with plantar fasciitis . She has given me levothyroxine100mg which I never questioned. Until began having side effects. Can these two medicines be taken together and is it safe for such a big increase. Thank you.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, of course you can have these two medicines altogether and this is nothing to worry, the important is thyroid medicine anti-inflammatory need to be stopped as soon as swelling disappears hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
