There is no known direct interaction between levothyroxine and promethazine. However, if you have an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), promethazine should be used with caution as it may slightly increase the risk of heart-related side effects. Since you are taking levothyroxine (usually for an underactive thyroid), this is generally only a concern if your dose is too high.

Why this happens
Levothyroxine is a synthetic version of the thyroid hormone T4. Promethazine is an antihistamine with 'anticholinergic' properties. While they do not interfere with how each other is absorbed or broken down by the body, both can influence heart rate. In patients with excessive thyroid hormone levels, promethazine could potentially contribute to a fast or irregular heartbeat.
What you should do
It is generally safe to take these two medicines together. Ensure you take your levothyroxine at the same time every day (usually in the morning on an empty stomach). If you experience any heart palpitations, chest pain, or unusual restlessness while taking promethazine, contact your doctor. Always ensure your thyroid levels are being monitored regularly by your GP.
