The acidic PH value in the stomach in fasting state is more important for the absorption of the tablets in the small intestine, so take more medication than the expected dose to assess the function of the gastrointestinal tract, such as HP-related gastritis, atrophic gastritis, fatty leaking, etc. Thyroid function and levothyroxine dose need to be reassessed after the disease has been cured.
