Levothyroxine & Thyroid Medication Timing Schedule
Pick the time you take your pill — first thing in the morning or at bedtime — and we’ll lay out the rest of your day around it: when breakfast, coffee, calcium, iron, and your other supplements are safe.
Choose the time you take your pill each day (for example, 6:30 AM, right when you wake up).

Timed so your body can absorb as much of your levothyroxine (T4) as possible
