I will take my levothyroxine first thing in the morning, before having breakfast. I must wait a minimum of 30 minutes after taking my medication before I can eat. I need to take my calcium supplement and antacids a few hours after my thyroid medication. I will require routine blood tests to determine if my dosage needs to be adjusted. This medication aids in replenishing the hormone that my thyroid is not producing sufficiently. I need to contact my provider if I notice any unusual weight changes, experience heart palpitations, or feel extreme fatigue. “I must keep taking this medication even after I start feeling better.”
