How do I split my NDT the day before tests?

I am having my blood tests done on Monday. I have been taking 75mg (1 60 mg and 1 15mg) Armour Thyroid in the mornings. I can't remember how to take it the day before. Please remind me how I should split them up on Sunday.

I stopped biotin last Sunday.

Thanks for your help.

Don't take your meds on Monday morning. After your test, take your usual dose.

If it was me, on Sunday I would take the 1 grain (60) at the usual time and then the quarter grain (15) 8-12 hours before the blood test. On Monday, take your usual dose. Take your tablets and a bottle of water with you then you can take your dose immediately after the blood draw.
