Please help....Synthroid and orange juice?!


Question: Has anyone else been told to avoid drinking orange juice when they take their synthroid? My doctor told me to avoid it, but I really like to drink orange juice in the morning (and my doctor said it's best to take the synthroid in the morning). Has anyone been told this?

It's probably because thyroid meds need to be taken on an empty stomach. It could also be because some orange juice contains calcium and thyroid meds should be taken 4 hours from calcium. You can take the Synthroid at night before bed and eat whatever you want in the morning. I will put a link below
