Prescribing Information:

• Thyroplex contains ingredients that can affect the metabolism of thyroid hormones. Monitor patients already taking thyroid medications including thyroxin.
• Concomitant use of amiadorone and antithyroid medications with iodine is not advised.
• Concomitant use of potassium iodide with ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers may increase the risk of hyperkalaemia.
• Tyrosine may decrease the effectiveness of levodopa. Avoid unless under medical supervision and separate doses by at least two hours.
• Tyrosine may have additive effects with thyroid hormone medication or central nervous system stimulants.
• Concurrent use of tyrosine and antidepressant medications may theoretically result in elevated blood pressure and/or antidepressant effects.
• Orally, schisandra may cause gastrointestinal disturbance, allergic skin rashes and urticarial in some patients. If any of these symptoms occur, discontinue use.
