Article Synopsis
- Hypothyroid patients on levothyroxine face challenges with medication adherence during Ramadan due to fasting, leading to a study on the best administration times.
- The study found that compliance was lowest when taking the medication 3-4 hours after the iftar meal, while most patients preferred taking it 30 minutes before iftar.
- Results showed a significant increase in TSH and FT4 levels after Ramadan, but the timing of levothyroxine intake did not affect these hormone levels, suggesting flexibility in administration timing.
