Advice please - private blood test

[Sharon-1152]

Hi I've just received my private blood test , if I do the test on Monday morning , when do I take my last thyroxine and t3 ?

[Saggyuk]

What dosages are you on of both?

[Sharon-1152 in reply to Saggyuk]

150 thyroxine

10 t3

[Saggyuk in reply to Sharon-1152]

Yes 24 hours, but no more than 12 hours for T3

You should allow 24 hours between last dose and test and take afterwards. I assume you know it should be at the earliest and fasting (you can drink water).

I agree, I never take thyroid medication until after the blood test, Just take it on the Sunday morning and then leave it until after your blood test. If you take an evening thyroid medication, do not take it tonight, just continue as normal tomorrow after the test. One day will not make a big difference in consumption but will give a more accurate test result hopefully.

I don't know about you, but I always take mine anyway on a empty stomach before food.
