What is the correct protocol for a follow-up thyroid blood test after starting Thyronorm (levothyroxine), specifically regarding whether the daily medication should be taken before or after the blood draw, and whether the test requires fasting?

Asked by Female, 25 · 14 days ago

For your follow-up thyroid blood test, please delay taking your daily Thyronorm (levothyroxine) until after your blood is drawn. Taking it beforehand can temporarily affect your test results, making them less accurate. As for fasting, a standard thyroid test does not strictly require you to fast, but it is best to check with your doctor or lab in case other blood tests are scheduled for the same visit.
