Do you require levothyroxine to be taken on an empty stomach in patients with stable hypothyroidism, or is dosing with breakfast acceptable with dose adjustment?

Ideally, levothyroxine should be taken on empty stomach but if a patient is taking it with breakfast and has a stable normal TSH, it is okay to continue but if TSH fluctuates change to empty stomach.
