What happens if i don't take my synthroid (thyroxine) on an empty stomach?? will this affect my thyroid function? i'm on 137mcg
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The synthroid (thyroxine): is more fully absorbed on an empty stomach but the difference in absorption alone should NOT effect your thyroid function ! BUT Its best to take medication (ANY medication) on a REGULAR schedule anyway! Hope this helps! Dr Z
