Is it okay to skip synthroid (thyroxine) for a few days?

Depends: Depends on the reason why you want to skip but in general, missing a few days of synthroid (thyroxine) should not cause many problems. Synthroid (thyroxine) is a drug with a long half-life so the level should still be ok with a few missing doses.
