Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Levothyroxine or thyronorm should be taken in empti stomach ,fasting 20-30 min before breakfast because the food can decrese the absorbation of this drug. In your specific circumstances,my advice is to take your thyronorm in the morning,when you weak up. You do not eat food during all the day and this means that your thyronorm can be absorbed without problems.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
