Amy1311,

Why do you need to skip Eltroxin because you're having a medical? I don't know whether taking painkillers show changes in ECG, BP or vision tests.

They wont check thyroid test... and will check fasting glucose in blood test and urine test .. in the morning.. So thy asked me to come in empty stomach... Wont taking eltroxin and the doin blood test won't show in results any changes in sugar level or tat I took thyroid tablet. Pls reply ... So only thought of asking...?!!

Even if it has an impact, why not take the tablet with you and swallow it straight after the blood draw?

Although we always recommend taking it well away from food, etc., taking it, even in non-ideal circumstances, is probably more sensible than skipping it altogether.
