Hello, thanks for the query. Madam since you are on 75 mcg of tablet thyronorm, means there is hypothyroidism. I hope your tsh is in prescribed range (3 to 4 mu/l (. As regards taking albendazole it is better taken with or just after dinner. So there is no problem in taking that. No need to take on empty stomach. Thanks.
