If you are taking thyroid replacement medication it is important that you take them with water 1 hour before eating or 2-3 hours after eating. No coffee or tea while waiting for breakfast. If you are taking calcium or other supplements wait at 2-3 hours after taking your hormone replacement tablet. Be careful of the orange juice you drink. Check to see if it has calcium or not. If you happen to forget to take a pill one day DO NOT take 2 the next day.

Treating Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism calls for a lifelong regimen of thyroid replacement. No surgical techniques or conventional drugs can increase the thyroid's hormone production once it slows down. Although hormones from animal extracts are available, doctors generally prescribe synthetic forms of thyroid hormone, such as levothyroxine.
