Hello and thank you for asking.
I have gone carefully through your concern.
This is a very common problem in patients treating with levothyroxine because it has to be taken longlife and of course it may happen often to forget it.
In these cases is recommended to take double dose the next day.
You may take it also the same day 2-3 hours after dinner, but taking it in the morning is much more efficient.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
