When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

The use of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled thyroid dysfunction. FSH is composed of both an alpha and beta subunit. The amino acid sequence of the alpha subunit of FSH is identical to that of TSH. Therefore, FSH may have weak TSH receptor- binding and activation.
