What time best to take test if have 100mg at night?

[marbo]

Hi - I take 100mg of Levo about 10:00pm. When should I take a Thyroid test. Can I take one at 6am the morning after or should I skip the dose for one night and take the test in the morning and then take the dose straight after?

thanks

The best thing to do is change the time of your dose for the day or two before.

For example, if testing on a Monday then delay Saturday night's dose until Sunday morning and take 24 hours before the time of your test (recommended no later than 9am for test).

Delay Sunday night's dose until after the test on Monday morning.

Take Monday night's dose as normal.

That way you get the recommended 24 hour gap between last dose and test and your thyroid hormone levels will be as accurate as they can be.
