Patient picks for Drug interactions

Treatment and medication
Can I take Atorvastatin and Levothyroxine together?
Taking these two medicines together is generally safe, but there is a minor interaction where atorvastatin might slightly increase the levels of levothyroxine in your blood. Conversely, your thyroid levels can affect how well atorvastatin works to lower your cholesterol.
