Asking for Self, Female, 25 years old, GERMANY
I have recently been diagnosed hypothyroidism with my GP. She suspects hashimoto's but has referred me to endocrinologist. Prescribed Thyroxine 25 mg half tablet every morning before breakfast for a week then 1 tablet. Sometimes I have night shift. I sleep around 4-5 in the morning and wake up around 2 pm. Can I fix the medicine time at 9 am regardless of breakfast time? Can I take medicine at 9 am, sleep again and have food at 2 pm? Thanks
Main issue is you have to take the medicine empty stomach atleast 1-2 hours away from food. Take consistently in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 to 60 minutes before food. Alternatively, take at night 3 to 4 hours after the last meal. Do not take within 4 hours of calcium- or iron-containing products. If need any further advice kindly book through marham.
Ideally one should take empty stomach irrespective of breakfast and avoid 2hours iron and calcium supplement
yes you can.. no issue. it should be taken 1.5 to 2 hours before meal.
