Why does it say to consult a doctor if you have thyroid disease?
ByOn a lot of antihistamine and sinus medications it says to consult your doctor if you have thyroid disease. What is the reason for this? I have hypothyroid and a bad cold so I need to take something so I can sleep. I know this is a question I should ask my doctor (and I intend to when I see her on Monday) but is it dangerous for me to take sinus medication?

I have hypothyroidism also. If you’re on medication, certain meds can counter-act with the meds your on. Call a pharmacist and ask them. Tell them what you’re on and tell them the med you want to take and they’ll tell you if its safe or not. Im on synthroid and have never had a problem with being able to take any sinus meds. To ease your mind and make sure, just call the pharmacy, they will gladly help you with anything you need to know! Good luck! Hope ya feel better soon!
