You are correctly taking Thyronorm (levothyroxine) on an empty stomach and waiting before tea—that’s ideal. For Vitamin B12, there is no major interaction with Thyronorm, but timing still matters for best absorption.
Next Steps
• Continue Thyronorm at 8 AM empty stomach • Take Vitamin B12: – After breakfast or lunch (preferred)
Health Tips
• Avoid taking Thyronorm with: – Tea/coffee, calcium, iron (reduces absorption) • Vitamin B12 can be taken with food → better tolerated • If on multiple supplements, space them out ⸻

It can be take anytime of the day, after food. Just avoid taking anything an hour after your thyroid medicines.
