What the FDA labels say
From the Levothyroxine and liothyronine (NP Thyroid 60) label · effective 2026-01-01
Estrogen, Oral Contraceptives — Estrogens tend to increase serum thyroxine-binding globulin (TBg).
In a patient with a nonfunctioning thyroid gland who is receiving thyroid replacement therapy, free levothyroxine may be decreased when estrogens are started thus increasing thyroid requirements.
Therefore, patients without a functioning thyroid gland who are on thyroid replacement therapy may need to increase their thyroid dose if estrogens or estrogen-containing oral contraceptives are given.
