Sir I am having thyroid. I am taking thyronorm 100 mg. Please let me know how I should take tablet in the morning. I am 34 years old.

Question

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. I am sure the day Thyroxine was prescribed to you all the precautions regarding taking the tablet and about food etc must have been explained to you. I am a bit surprised because of this question. Thyroxine tablet should be taken early morning on empty stomach, there after nothing should be taken for at least 1 to 1 and half hour. Plus you should avoid soy beans and soy containing foods. Other precautions include - always take whole grain flour for preparing roti and chapati. Consume a good quantity of green leafy vegetables and salads as well as fruits. Avoid junk foods, bakery items and foods made from maida. Refrain from alcohol and colas. Plus exercise daily for at least 1 hour. Thanks.
