Question:
Hello pharmacist! I am 38 years old. Currently, I am taking medication to treat a thyroid condition, once daily in the morning. May I ask if it is possible to take collagen supplements while on thyroid medication? I hope you can provide advice. Thank you, pharmacist.

Answer:
Hello.
You have not mentioned whether your thyroid condition is hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or another disease, so it is not possible for the doctor to conclude whether collagen supplementation can be taken while on thyroid medication.
Hơn nữa, sản phẩm chứa collagen cũng có nhiều loại trong đó loại chiết xuất từ tảo biển thường sẽ có hàm lượng iod cao, có thể không phù hợp với người có bệnh tuyến giáp.
It is best to bring the collagen product you intend to use to your thyroid doctor during your next check-up for evaluation. If the doctor approves, you may use it alongside your medication without any impact.
Thank you for trusting and sending your question to the Vinmec Healthcare System. Sincerely!
