I was given some advise when I last picked up my medication that I should take my thyroxine at least a half an hour before any other medication or having anything to eat, as this will help with the absortion of the Thyroxine.....Have any others out there ever been told this.
I have been on thyroxine for at least 12 years but had never been told this before....interested to see what others of you have been told....?
Yes, your chemist is right. If taking it in the morning, before breakfast with a full glass of water, and wait half to 1 hour before eating. Take any supplements 4 hours afterwards as they could interfere with the uptake of thyroxine.
Some are taking their meds at bedtime and if you decide to do this, you shouldn't eat anything for two hours before meds and only drink water.
