Timing of Blood Pressure medications with Levothyroxine.

[DoeStewart]

Hello everyone, I posted a few weeks ago asking for advice of timings of the BP medecine Amlodopine 10mcg. I take 100mcg Levothyroxine every morning and was advised to take the Amlodopine at bed time. I did this for a few weeks but the side effects of this new medication were quite severe. GP decided to take me off the Amlodopine and put me on 50mg of Losarten and continue taking at bedtime. My problem now is I have been put of 50mg twice a day, morning and evening - when do I take my Levothyroxine now? Thank you.

Thank you so much .

How about taking one Losarten dose at bed-time (I'll suggest 22:00) and the other exactly twelve hours later (10:00). Therefore having an opportunity to take the levothyroxine at, say, 07:00.

Obviously the viability of that depends on your daily routines!

Thank you that would work for me and give me 3 hours between levothyroxine and the next dose of medication.
