Diagnosed With High TSH Level. Can I Take Thyronorm Medicine Just Before Bed?
Hi I have been on thyronorm 100 mcg for past 3 years. I usually take the medicine early in the morning and after 15 minutes have my first cup of tea . In a recent TSH test , i was diaognised with TSH level of 56. Doctor has advised me to take 175 mcg every day. My queries are as below:- 1) Can i take Thyronorm medicine just before bed? 2) Is it required to take 175 mcg or can i take 2 * 75 mcg tablets as i am unable to get 100 mcg tablets? Regards Srinivas

hello srinivas.
thanks for your query.
1. Thyronorm has to be taken first thing in the morning
you cannot take it at bedtime.
Thyronorm works best when taken on an empty stomach, thats why early in the morning.
IT is better to have a gap of half an hour after thyronorm before taking tea or even more water.
2. It is required to take 175 mcg as prescribed.
2 tablets of 75 mcg would not work.
take care.
