Santosh B · Answer

Hello. Yes, a time interval is required between taking thyroxine tablet and few other medicines. If you are taking thyronorm and pan, maintain around 4 hours time interval between these two medicines.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Madam, Levothyroxine should always be taken first thing in the morning. Then nothing should be taken for 1 hour.  In case of drugs like pentaprazole it os better to have still longer gap. Thanks.

But This medicine pan 40, (proton pump inhibitor (PPI).) will not cure problem. It only works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach. The day u dont take medicine normal acid production will be there n u will have symptoms.
Do this
1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic). ) or any seasonal  fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 
2. Don't Overeat 	
3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U can eat whatever ur mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is ur traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc.
4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n  seasonal fruit (eat whole fruit not juice),  a cup of curd/milk etc
5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. Take simple food like rice n dal in dinner.
6.  Maintain active life style	
7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, Carbonated beverages
8. Take a lot of green vegetables n fruit. It contains a lot of fiber which will help reduce tendency for constipation
9. Drink lot of water.	
10. Everyday preferably sleep on same time
11. Take half cup of cold milk when u feel acidity, it will help. Curd is good for u.
12.  If its very severe then Elevate your bed Raising the head of your bed six to eight inches can help gravity keep gastric acid down in your stomach.
This is for long term results But for now to bring your digestive system back on track you need to take medicines. For that I need more details, you can consult me
