potential interaction between Evista (raloxifene) and levothyroxine (Synthroid, Eltroxin, etc)

They're concerned that Evista might decrease the absorption of levothyroxine and cause hypothyroidism.
This interaction might occur when the two drugs are taken together...but probably not when they're separated by 12 hours.
