A member asked:
Is it ok if you've forgotten to take your thyroid pill for a few days then start back on it? will it change anything or make it worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's okay: Levothyroxin has a very long half-life (about a week). If you've missed a few days, just resume taking them as if nothing happened.
