Short answer
Usually yes. Homeopathic medicines can generally be taken alongside thyroid medication such as levothyroxine, and that is how many thyroid patients start. Do not stop, skip or reduce your thyroid tablet on your own, even if you feel better: the dose is decided by your physician or endocrinologist from your blood tests. Keep testing on schedule and tell both doctors what you are taking.

In hypothyroidism the tablet replaces hormone your gland is not making in sufficient amounts. If it is stopped, tiredness, weight gain, feeling cold, constipation and low mood tend to return over the following weeks, and for many people replacement is long-term.
Homeopathic care at this practice is explicitly complementary. It addresses your individual symptom pattern — energy, sleep, hair, digestion, mood — while your medication and monitoring continue unchanged.
Take your thyroid tablet exactly as your physician instructed, which is usually on an empty stomach at the same time each day. Take homeopathic doses at a separate time of day, as advised in your consultation.
Bring a photo of the strip showing the dose in micrograms, your latest thyroid report and a list of any supplements, particularly iron or calcium, to the first consultation.
Only the doctor who prescribed it, and only on the basis of your reports. If your levels change, that shows in your blood tests first; your physician then adjusts the dose. Feeling better is not a reason to lower it yourself.
No one can responsibly promise that you will come off thyroid medication. Homeopathic progress is reviewed on how you feel together with what your follow-up tests show.
Continue thyroid tests at the interval your physician advises. See them sooner for palpitations, tremor, unexplained weight loss or feeling unusually hot, for a swelling in the neck or difficulty swallowing, and if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, because thyroid dose requirements often change in pregnancy.
If you have an overactive thyroid and take anti-thyroid medicine, the same rule applies with even more force: continue it as prescribed and stay under your endocrinologist's care.
