LEVOTHYROXINE (in Synthroid) may interact with GRAPEFRUIT JUICE
Levothyroxine is absorbed in the intestine. Grapefruit juice may slow this process down causing levothyroxine uptake into the body to be reduced. Available evidence suggests this is a small interference, which is not likely to be important. There are no special precautions with taking levothyroxine and grapefruit juice at the same time. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.
This interaction is poorly documented and is considered minor in severity.
