Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Recently I had to go on a one day antibiotic for a cold that turned into an infection. (surprised?) I've noticed since I caught the cold, and more recently since taking the antibiotic, that my thyroid medication isn't working as well. Is it in my head or did the antibiotics do something to me? If so, does anyone think I should be increasing my T3? Before my cold, I was able to decrease the T3, now it seems like I need to readjust. Any one have any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hi Lynn, What antibiotic? There are sites you can search on the web to see drug interactions and their effects on the other meds you take as well as their effect on your thyroid, if any.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I'm going to take a leap here and guess you got Zmax, since that is the only one day antibiotic out there. It shouldn't affect your thyroid needs. Chances are you are just still worn down from the infection. Even though you only take one dose it still takes 3-4 days to knock out the infection. > > Recently I had to go on a one day antibiotic for a cold that turned into an > infection.
