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've been feeling dizzy all the time and really weak for the past 15-20 days. I'm diabetic, and my PP is usually around 100, but my fasting varies between 200-250. Im on Piosys 30 mg once daily at breakfast around 8 a.m., Eurepa 0.5 four times a day, Vobit twice a day, and Basalog at 10 units around 10 p.m. I also take CTD for blood pressure. I tried Stugeron for 20 days, but it didnt help. Can you suggest something for the dizziness and weakness? Its becoming a big issue.
