When is the best time to take my thyroid medicines and my vitamins?
I cant take these at the same time because of absorption
When can I take these to get the most benefit. My Vitamins are almost as important because of other health problems.

take the thyroid medication first thing in the morning…wait at least 2-4 hours before taking vitamins.

That info is for synthroid….if you are taking a generic, call your pharmacist and ask.

I take my synthroid about 6 am when I first wake up and then that my vitamins after lunch. It’s really important to read up on the thyroid meds, most Md’s don’t tell you how to take them. You need to make sure you take your thyroid meds alone. Don’t have calcium or soy products for about 2-3 hours. Try WEBMD.com for great information.
Also depending on how old you are you might want to try a web site…Woman to Woman. It’s for menopause info., but they have good thyroid info too., your thyroid and hormones are connected so knowing about both really helps.
