Hi,
In my opinion the both can be taken together. Better is that you take thyroid medicine empty stomach and cholesterol medicine after meals any time. Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin daily may be taken by you for your cholesterol problem.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
