View allI'm currently taking Eltroxin 75 mg for my thyroid first thing in the morning before breakfast. I usually like to have a glass of lemon juice with honey as part of my morning routine. Is it okay for me to drink the lemon juice and honey before taking my Eltroxin? If it is, how much time should I wait after having the juice before taking my tablet? Would really appreciate your guidance on this.
In the morning, you can take Lemon Juice with Honey before taking Eltroxin 75 mg. However, it is recommended to wait at least 30 minutes to 1 hour after consuming the juice before taking the Eltroxin tablet for optimal absorption and effectiveness of the medication.

I'm thinking about taking menabol tablets to help with my weight because my trainer suggested it at the gym. I've always been on the leaner side, and I'm curious if it's safe for me to use. Could you also let me know how many tablets I should take each day and the best times to take them?
Better follow regular diet habits than taking the pills to gain weight
