Can you drink alcohol while taking Synthroid and Coumadin?

Answer 1

You can, but alcohol is likely to impair the T4 to T3 conversion process which is essential in gaining any benefit from this medicine. Research on alcoholics showed that T4 was more likely to convert to rT3 (the inactive form of the hormone) than T3, but when they stopped drinking alcohol, over 60% more of the T4 converted properly.
