Thyroid test

2026-04-12 02:16:29
Need some general advice..I'm planning to take thyroid test. Have been advised to take thyronorm 25 mcg tablets for 3 months. It's been more than 8 weeks. How do I prepare myself for the test? Need advice. Should I do any fasting? If so how? Also during the day of taking the test do I need to skip taking the tablet??
