You may take or may not take l-thyroxine tablet on the day of TSH testing- it will not produce any huge impact on your report. But generally we consider that with same dose of l thyroxine you should take at least 6 weeks- which will generally help us to titrate the dose of medicines.
But for all practical purposes as patients should not miss the dose of l thyroxine - we should take the dose in the morning of TSH testing.
