My wife takes Eltroxin 75 mcg, first thing in the morning, for hypothyroidism. To regulate the dosage, should blood test for TSH be done before or after taking the medication in the morning?

Hello Sir, You can either take the blood test before taking the medication, first thing in the morning. Or you can take it 4- 5 hours after taking the medication. Ideally it is better to take it before the medication. Thank you.
