Synthroid and Omeprazol interaction

Hello All,
Does anybody know how many hours should be between  Synthroid and Omeprazole so there is no impact to Syngthroid's effectiveness?
Thanks

I do take most vitamins at least 4 hours after thyroid med, but I'll take omeprazole whenever I need it; so far, I've not had issues in regards to thyroid med.

Thanks for your reply. Do you know if it makes Synthroid weaker or stronger?

As Omeprazol is a medication for GERD, it is usually 4 hours gap after taking a thyroid hormone.

Thanks so much, I thought so too. I've had the same problem with vitamins which are binding with Synthroid and had to have them 4 hours apart. I'll take Omeprazol at night for now.
