Hi can anyone tell me when your supposed to have blood test done after taking a thyroid glandular such as thyrogold

I know that T4 is 24 hrs and NDT is 8-12 hrs but can’t find information about a glandular for the most accurate results ?

For thyroid test purposes, a thyroid glandular is treated the same way as NDT in regard to timing of last dose, so if necessary we change the timing of our dose(s) the day before the test to ensure the last dose is 8-12 hours before the blood draw.
