Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
First of all thank you for sharing your concern with us .
Thyroid medicines should be taken on same time as scheduled by your healthcare providers for optimal efficacy and should be taken empty stomach for best results . Taking levothyroxine once in while late than usual is not a problem because over a time levothyroxine reaches a stable level . But my advice is to take it regularly at same time .
I wish you good health .
Best Regards,
Dr.S.Tomar
