Read bottle, but...: thyroid hormones should be taken separately from most any other medication or supplement and actually even food or coffee with milk. Take it when you first arise (with a full glass of water). Some people keep it on their bedstands and take even before they actually get up. If you are taking THYROID throughout the day, you should separate it by about 30 mins (before and after) from anything else.
