Finally, this study design did not control for concurrent medication use other than lithium and amiodarone, thereby potentially overlooking substances such as antacids and calcium that could reduce levothyroxine absorption. However, as a practical matter, use of over-the-counter supplements and substitution in levothyroxine brand are often not reported by patients.
