Flecainide and thyroxine

[Reena09]

I posted on here recently about taking flecainide with or without food? I think the advice is on an empty stomach or one hour before eating. For those of you on thyroxine how do you manage this in the morning? As the thyroxine has to be taken first thing on an empty stomach and then you need to leave it at least 30 mins before food. Thoughts appreciated.

You could take your thyroxine at night instead if that works better for you, many people do that.

Never been suggested that before? Would that be last thing at night?

I take mine last thing at night and I actually absorb it better overnight.

I take my Flecainide about 5.30-6am and Levo about an hour later, then breakfast another hour later. Did have a spell of taking Levo at night, but had to keep popping to the toilet all night. Levo should be taken with plenty of water.
