1. Thyroid agents are cardiostimulatory and should be used with great caution in patients with preexisting cardiac disease, including uncontrolled hypertension and cardiac arrhythmias.
2. The antibiotics you listed do not interact with Armour Thyroid
3. Armour Thyroid has a narrow therapeutic index, and the dosage must be individualized. Chromium could potentially decrease the oral absorption of thyroid hormones. The hair loss may be due to taking Chromium since it's interfering with the Armour Thyroid.
The source for the chromium interaction can be found at:

DO YOU HAVE ANY STUDIES TO READ ABOUT CHROMIUM/ THYROID INTERACTIONS?
I TOOK CHROMIUM FOR MANY YEARS , BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING DESSICATED THYROID IN VARIOUS FORMS ( ARMOUR, NATURE-THROID, GENERIC).
THIS WAS TO HELP WITH ADVERSE EFFECTS OF EATING, ( IF TIRED, OR UNDER STRESS I FEEL HORRIBLE AFTER EATING)
AFTER STARTING DESSICATED THYROID MY HAIR STARTED TO FILL IN NOTICEABLY.... THIS WAS WHILE TAKING THE CHROMIUM PIC.
THEN RECENTLY I RAN OUT OF IT FOR A WHILE, SO DID NOT TAKE IT ALONG WITH THE NEW ARMOUR THYROID FORMULATION FOR A PERIOD.
HAIR FELL OUT AFTER THE NEW ARMOUR, WHETHER I TOOK CHROMIUM OR NOT!
THE MANY PVCS DITTO.
ALSO, I GOOGLED FOR REFERENCES TO CHROMIUM CAUSING ARRYTHMIAS. THE ONLY ONES I COULD FIND REFERRED TO RAPID HEART BEATS, NOT SLOW.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER FOR ME TO READ?
