Hello everyone, the invitations to have the ‘flu jab have started to be sent out, I’m assuming it’s best to leave minimum 4 hours following Levothyroxine morning dose? This will be my first experience of the jab since I started Levo.

I wouldn't worry. Just get the jab when they offer it.The effect on absorption of levo for 1 day will be negligible.

The 2 and 4 hours avoidance of supplements is on a daily basis not a one-off.

As it's a jab and not going through your stomach for digestion, it shouldn't matter about timing.

Not what you're looking for?
