my edno said not to take levo pill before blood test but after.

i read somewhere that you must not take it for 48 hours.The doctors at the hospital told me not to lose one single dose.its all complicated so i just dont take it before the blood test day but after.

Leave a 24 hour gap before test, which should be the very earliest possible (fasting) but you can drink water. Take levo afterwards.

Suzz4444 and Hidden ,

You should take your Levothyroxine as normal on Sunday but take it after your blood test on Monday.
