    Watch how much milk you are having in the morning after taking levothyroxine, and ensure you only take it a full half an hour or more (see below: Tip 5) after taking the pills. Calcium, but specifically, milk, can affect the absorption of levothyroxine. If your breakfast sizes have increased - perhaps due to increased appetite from a faster metabolism; or from seeking energy from food - and your thyroid levels have gone down, it may be worth reducing those breakfast sizes, eating it later, or switching the milk (or at least most of it) for yoghurt or something else.

    Here is a link that tells you the side effects of this drug.
