I'm thinking about taking Bandy Plus for deworming. Should I take it on an empty stomach in the morning or after dinner? Also, I'm on Eltroxin 100mg for hypothyroidism. Would it be safe to take both?

I recently had a TSH test done and the result was 5.7, so my doctor suggested I start taking thyronorm 25 mcg. But then I went to another diagnostic center the next day and my TSH came back as 3.7. I'm a bit confused about what to do now. I've also been experiencing shorter menstrual periods for about three years, down from three days to just one and a half. I'm currently on gardinal 30 MG and my prolactin levels seem to be normal. Should I go ahead and take the thyronorm or should I consult with another doctor first?
