Brief Answer:
Thyroid

Detailed Answer:
Lemon water is not acceptable to take with synthroid. Plain water is recommended.

Prevacid is best taken before breakfast.

So the ideal sequence would be :

Synthroid with water

60 minutes later: Prevacid followed by breakfast.
Other medications can also be taken around this time based on the prescribing doctors advice
