morning or night time

[shaybenholly]

when does everyone think its best to take your levothyroxine morning or night or does it not matter ?

Shaybenholly,

There is research showing bedtime dosing increases absorbance and reduces TSH and improves FT4 if bedtime dosing is done but you can take it at whatever time suits you as long as it is on an empty stomach, one hour before, or two hours after food and drink, two hours away from medication and supplements and 4 hours away from vitamin D3, calcium, iron and oestrogen.

I think it is a trial and error thing about what is best for you. I have just switched splitting dose in half morning and night to all in the morning as I think that might help me sleep better. I think it's quite an indivual thing.

i think the night time for me is taking it at the same time everynight because when im well i dont no what i will be doing if that makes sense
