Suggest Dosage Time For Thyromone Pills
Dear Dr. I am 36 yr old female,married for 3 years. My husband and mine reports are normal except for my thyroid levels for which i have been taking thyronorm 75 mcg for about 1.5 yrs. Test reports are now normal since 1 year, still unable to conceive. Why? Also pl advise if the correct time to take this tablet is in early morning inempty stomach, as a friend suggested?

Hi,
Sub-fertility or difficulty conceiving is one of many possible consequences of thyroid problems (both overactive and underactive). However once the TSH is in the range of normal, it is most unlikely that reproductive derangement's occur. If you certainly have an underactive thyroid from one of the most common causes is Hashimoto's thyroiditis which is an auto-immune condition, then there is a likelihood of other auto-immune disorders to be concomitantly present.
Some examples are premature ovarian failure, adrenal insufficiency and type 1 diabetes. All this requires a careful assessment by an endocrinologist. Yes, Levothyroxine should be taken in the morning, in empty stomach. For 30 minutes you should not eat or drink.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Best wishes,
Dr. Mirjeta
