Should I avoid drinking or consuming dairy products 1 hour after taking Syntroid for hypothyroidism?

It is recommended to wait at least 2 hours after taking Synthroid for hypothyroidism before consuming dairy products, as the calcium in dairy can decrease the absorption of Synthroid. It is even better to wait 6 hours to minimize the interaction. However, if you have always taken them together and your dosage has been determined based on this, it may be best to continue this routine.
