Suggest Dosage For Armour Thyroid
Hello, I am taking Armor Thyroid medicine prescribed by my doctor after blood tests were done. I take my thyroid medicine in the morning and usually wait 2 hours before eating or having coffee. I talked to a pharmacist and they said I should be waiting 4 hours or the medicine won t work correctly. Is that true? And if so can I take the medicine at night? How long once I eat before I have an empty stomach to take the pill?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
After taking levothyrooxine pill, you have to wait 30 min in the morning, than eat or drink anything. Yes, you may take it before sleeping, 2 hours after eating dinner.
