Does anyone else do this?

How long after eating do you have to wait to take the meds at night? Do you do it just before going to sleep?

DBBcello,

Leave 2 hours between food/drink and Levothyroxine. You can take it just before going to sleep or if you regularly get up in the night you can take it then.
