It's always advised here, to ensure proper absorption, to take thyroid meds on an empty stomach, one hour before or two hours after food, with a glass of water only, and water only for an hour each side. Any other medication and any supplements should be taken at least 2 hours away from thyroid meds, some need 4 hours - iron, calcium, Vit D, magnesium.
