If you are currently being treated with any of the following medications, you
should not use alpha-lipoic acid without first talking to your healthcare
provider.
Amikacin and Gentamicin
In an animal study, alpha-lipoic acid supplements reduced side effects,
particularly toxicity to the ear, associated with these antibiotics. Additional
studies are needed to confirm these effects in people.
Cisplatin and Cyclophosphamide
The use of alpha-lipoic acid supplements in animals protected against toxic
side effects associated with these medications.
Thyroid-regulating Medications, Levothyroxine
Rats given alpha-lipoic acid supplements had altered thyroid hormone
function, but improved cholesterol levels. Blood hormone levels and thyroid
function tests should be monitored closely in people taking thyroid hormones who
are also taking alpha-lipoic acid.
