A Prospective Study Comparing Two-Time Points of Thyroid Hormone Replacement during the Holy Month of Ramadan.

Conclusion: Choosing an optimal time for levothyroxine intake during the month of Ramadan remains a challenge. The current study did not provide any evidence on ideal time and dose of levothyroxine administration during fasting to manage hypothyroidism. Studies with a larger number of patients need to be done to further explore this issue. PMID: 31428148 [PubMed]
