Is It Safe Taking All These Medications At The Same Time?

hello doctor, i,m 35 yrs old, 5'2'' tall and weighs 58 Kg. I, married and have a 5 yr old son. Ive been trying for a second child since last 2 years but failed. i.ve been diagnosed with PCOS, and my TSH is 7.8, last year my doctor prescribed fermilon and I took that for two months and I developed acidity and other problems like headache etc. I discontinued the pill. Then my doctor prescribed glycomed and my periods became regular and the ultra sound report of the ovaries was normal. I stopped taking glycomed but due to acidity problem, my doctor advised me to take omez D, tabs and antacids. But lately I consulted a gynae and she prescribed clofert 100 mg to be taken for 5 days starting on the 2nd day of my periods. I, m also takin thyronorm 50 and also folic acid tabs, I wanted to ask you if its safe to take all the above medicines at the same time? Now ive develop a burning sensation on my throat, is it the side effect of the medicines.

Hi,

Clofert (Clomiphene) is given for Ovulation induction in patients of PCOS. But I would ask you to take it only after your thyroid medication is increased and your TSH levels are less than 3. I would not recommend active treatment to conceive at 7.8 TSH.
So, please increase the dose of Thyronorm under the guidance of an endocrinologist and get the TSH levels to less than 3, and only then try with clomiphene and follicular studies .
You can continue folic acid till you get pregnant and also after you are pregnant continue it till 12 weeks .
It is safe to take all the above medications together.
You can take Gelusil/Omez for gastric discomfort .

Hope this helps.
Regards.
