I would only like to add, that the recommendation for drinking a full glass of water is advised with certain medications- as it is ideal that the medication reaches your stomach, as apposed to being dissolved in your esophagus and causing irritation.If any medication states, "Drink a full glass of water"-I would do just that.
Water does not interfere with synthroid absorption where other liquid might and juices definitely. You don't have to drink a full glass of water, a few swallows or just enough to get it down, that's all I do. The full glass is to prevent the little pill from getting stuck in the throat and chocking.
Another way to take it is to let it absorb under your tongue.
No Tea or flavored water, like Gatorade, Vitamin water, juices, etc.
