Thyroxine mistake

[Andree]

I accidentally took my thyroxine pill at night instead of the usual morning time. So do i still take it in the morning; or do i miss it.

Just miss it in the morning. It won't do you any harm. It's a storage hormone, so you could, in theory, take your whole weekly dose once a week if you wanted to. Don't worry about it. Merry Christmas!

Not a big deal AT ALL. Just get back on your regular timing and skip the morning.

Don't worry and - as greygoose has stated it is a storage hormone. The following is a link with an explanation:-

So sorry Andree that I didn't answer your query straight away. I was abroad and didn't have my laptop with me. But I saw now that you received good advice from our Administrators. So don't worry about taking your Thyroxine tablet at a wrong time. You just wait 24 hours, not taking Thyroxine and start again. It has happened to me that I have missed taking the pill altogether for 2 days .... with no adverse effects. Happy New Year to you.
