Depends : Although it is generally best to take thyroxine on an empty stomach the most important thing is to take it consistently each day. I advise my patients that they can take it with food as long as the food ones not contain lots of soy (such as soy milk or formula) or iron (such as a multivitamin with iron) since those two things are known to affect absorption. So, if 10:30 works best... Go for it!
