let her take medicine on empty stomach. IF she is consuming food or tea coffee within 40 min of tab ingestion almost 10% of dose is lost. thyroxine has a half life of 7 days. if she is daily eating something within same timespan then almost 1 or half tab dose is going less than recommend dose. I hope this helps.
