Why am I having diarrhea on L Thyroxin and birth control?
Hello. I have been diagnosed with underactive thyroid since 3 weeks and I was prescribe with L Thyroxin 25. On the 1st week I started to take it everyday in the morning 30 min before breakfast, everything was fine. Then on 2nd week, I started again my birth control pills which is Asumate 30. And from the moment that I have started again my birth control pills and the L Thyroxin 25, I have been having diarrhea problem for 2 weeks until today still on going. I am not sure what is the issue , can you help please ?

I think you might have a stomach upset. When you take birth control pills with L Thyroxin, you might experience diarrhea. This could mean that the combo is affecting your gut. Keep yourself hydrated and consider taking the drugs at different times during the day. If it doesn’t stop, talk to a doctor so they can advise accordingly.
