NURSING TIP #12: LEVOTHYROXINE

MORE LEVOTHYROXINE INFO:

  • If levothyroxine is given with food or other medications this may affect the absorption

  • When thyroid levels are checked periodically, if abnormal, the patient should be asked and educated about when to take levothyroxine

  • “The absorption of levothyroxine in the gut is decreased when taking the hormone at the same time as calcium, iron and some foods and other drugs. Because of this, patients are usually instructed to take levothyroxine on an empty stomach 30-60 minutes before food intake to avoid erratic absorption of the hormone.” -Thyroid.org
