I have hypothyroid and I take thyrox 25 everyday in the morning. As I know I shouldn't consume anything for 1 hour after taking thyroid medicine but I also wanna reduce fat by taking lemon water with honey. I can not wait for long as I feel very hungry in the morning. What should I do?

Falguni ji, Thanks for the query. The medication Levothyroxine is in the microgram quantity. Hence for its absorption it needs stomach to be free from any other substances for at least 1 to 1 and half hour. So a minimum of 1 hours gap is mandatory. You may take the tablet just before you come out of bed and gain some more time. Thanks.
