How Should Cytomel Be Taken While On Synthroid?

I have recently started taking cytomel as a supplement with my synthroid for my hypothyroidism. Is this medication like synthroid in that I have to take it one hour before or two hours after eating? I am taking two doses daily and it is very hard to plan meals around the 1 and 2 hour marks.

Hi,

* Best time to consume Cytomel is 30 minutes before lunch or 2 hours after lunch. So best way is to consume it with synthroid on empty stomach in the morning only.

Hope I have answered your query.
