Could i take levotiroxine at bedtime? i can't wait 30 min to breakfast in the morning
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Your stomach needs to be empty and remain empty for at least 40 min after taking levothyroxine. If it has been at least 2 hrs between when you last ate and bedtime, you can take it at bedtime.
