Pre-bed dosing of L-thyroxine in Ramadan and the effect on lipid parameters
INTRODUCTION :Pre-bed dosing of L-thyroxine is an alternative method to improve patient’s compliance especially in the month of Ramadan. However some studies reported the increment of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) on Pre-bed dosing suggesting Subclinical Hypothyroidism(SH). Dyslipidemia is one...

METHOD : A total of 9 hypothyroid patients who are on daily L-thyroxine replacement (taken before breakfast) with a normal baseline thyroid hormones and lipid profile were involved in this study. During Ramadan, they were asked to take their daily dose of L-thyroxine pre-bed instead of taking it pre-breakfast. At the end of Ramadan, their thyroid hormones and lipid profile were analysed.

Their thyroid hormones (TSH,fT3,fT4) and lipid profile (TC, LDL, HDL,triglyceride) were within normal range at presentation. At the end of Ramadan, there was a significant increment of TSH observed [TSH w0 1.8(0.23,5.57) vs w4 3.65(0.45,16.10) p=0.011] without significant change of fT3 and fT4 which indicate SH.
