While omeprazole does not directly cause thyroid problems, a significant interaction can occur for individuals taking thyroid hormone replacement therapy. This medication, known as a proton pump inhibitor, can impact the body's ability to properly absorb thyroid medication, potentially leading to fluctuating hormone levels.

Recent studies in India and animal models have raised questions about a potential link between long-term amlodipine use and hypothyroidism. While not a commonly listed side effect, this research suggests that amlodipine could potentially interfere with thyroid hormone levels.
