Coffee and Meds

[Daisylain]

Sorry for such a silly question. I take Armour Thyroid. Is it ok to have black coffee within the first hour of taking it? Thank you

[Ruthi]

No, caffeine interferes with absorption. Nothing but water for the first hour.

Thanks

[SeasideSusie Remembering]

I agree with Ruthi, wait an hour.

Look at number 7 here hypothyroidmom.com/11-ways-...

Shoot. I have been doing this wrong. Better late then never I guess. Thank you.

I started off taking with food because I knew no better. Nowadays I need much less and feel better.

So just keep an eye on dosage when you change.
