Hey.. Should we take the tablet before blood test?? Usually I don't take it before the blood test.

Madhukiran, TSH falls after eating so if you are hoping for a dose increase have a fasting test very early in the morning when TSH is highest. If you are well on your current dose there's no need to fast.

Except that if her TSH falls because she's eaten, she might not get to stay on her current dose!

NO. Blood tests only measure whats in the blood not whether its working!
