How should patients time the ingestion of their alendronate and levothyroxine given issues with food/drug interactions?
With the time intervals recommended after taking each medicine, I am wondering how patients should be counseled.

Since the half-life of levothyroxine is 7-10 days, you can double the dose of Levothyroxine on 1 day and then the next day take only the alendronate. There will not be a significant change in T4 levels.
