Scorpiojo,

T3 and T4 - 1 hour before or 2 hours after food and drink, 2 hours away from other medication and supplements, and 4 hours away from iron, calcium and vitamin D supplements and HRT.

Take HRT tablets at least 4 hours away from T3 and T4. Not important if you are using HRT transdermal patches.

Take Folic acid 2 hours away from T3 and T4 and with food.

Vitamin D should be taken with the fattiest meal of the day as fat aids absorption and 4 hours away from thyroid meds.

It won't matter what time you have B12 injections as they won't interact with thyroid meds.

So if I get in the habbit of taking Vit D and Folic acid at lunch say 1.30 haveing taken t 3 and 4 at 7 AM that's ok? Folic and D together... I may then take HRT tea time 6 ish leaving bedtime if I need to play about with any other t 3s or 4s along my way (If I get an increase)... Thanks for checking this and I wont worry about the B12 times when booking appts then... Thanks :)
