No problem! Just make sure in your case to ask your doc or pharmacist so what works for me is not just me, it is you too. I know a lot of people that do what I do - some people break it up - it may be convenience (or not lol) and how your doc wants you to set up. I know I have to fast for my thyroid meds and the low dose of HC is not a prob on an empty stomach for me.

I take my first dose of HC and my T4 together when I wake, fasting. I consulted with my doctor on this.

I have a list of all my meds with why and when I take them and when I get a new med, I ask my doc how to fit it in, or if a temporary one like an antibiotic, I ask the pharmacist to review the list and make sure all is ok with the rest of my medications and conditions, and when is the best time(s) to take the med.

I am panhypopit - I have to take a lot of stuff... ugh.
