Cissus with Thyroid meds?

[Brewsbro]

I have started with the thyroid med Levothroid. I was wondering if I could still take cissus rx? I have not had the chance to go in and see my doc yet to ask. I am having some knee issues and wanted to start cissus once again.
thanks

Bump to this one.

Brews, I promise.... someone else (hint, hint USP...) will help confirm Cissus is fine with the thyroid meds.

Please talk to your doc before starting the cissus again. Better to be safe than sorry!!

I can understand your stance and where you are coming from on why you or any supplement maker comment in this matter....

Consider this a rant against the healthcare system:
Probably 5% of doctors will know what cissus is when you mention it. The vast majority of doctors, even those who know what it is, will knock it simply because of it's mode of sale (i.e. a "supplement"). The ones who have no clue what it is MIGHT take a minute to look it up, and will of course zoom in on the 1 potential side effect that was identified by 1 doctor in Rome.
