Frequently asked questions
Thyronorm 100 empty stomach – how long before food?
Take it 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast or tea with plain water. Food, milk and coffee reduce absorption and make your TSH unstable.
Is 100 mcg a high dose of thyroxine?
No, 100 mcg is a common full-replacement dose for an adult; typical needs are about 1.6 mcg per kg of body weight. Your doctor sets it from your TSH, not from how it sounds.
Can I take Thyronorm 100 at night instead?
Yes, bedtime dosing at least 3 hours after dinner is an accepted alternative. Keep the same routine every day and recheck TSH after any change in timing.
Can I take Thyronorm 100 with alcohol?
There is no direct interaction, but keep alcohol moderate and never with the tablet.
