A member asked:

What is best time to take blood test for hypothyroid. with fasting/ any time of day/before having pills in the morning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Any time: Blood for thyroid test can be taken any time. However, if you need to have blood tested in fasting state for other reasons, a sample for thyroid function tests can be collected at the same time.
