Bigger concerns: The usual way thyroid is taken: first thing in the morning, empty stomach. The reason for the a.m. dosing is sometimes thyroid medication can keep one awake. And the empty stomach? To avoid also eating at the same time anything that prevents thyroid from being absorbed from your gut into your body - this is mostly minerals, usually calcium. Talk with your doctor.
