I take thyroid medicine the first thing in the morning, wait an hour, eat breakfast, and then take prescription medications. I also take prescription medications at 4:00 p.m. and bedtime.
What is the best time of day to take Metamucil?

"We recommend taking Metamucil between one and three times per day at mealtimes as a convenient way to get the benefits of Metamucil. However, if you're taking it to help you feel less hungry between meals,* the best time to take Metamucil powder is before eating.
Bulk-forming fibers like psyllium husk, may affect how well medicines work. Take this product at least 2 hours before or after medicines. Our powdered product must be mixed with liquids, not taken in its dry form. Capsules should be taken one at a time; we do not recommend dissolving them in water. For Metamucil Fiber Capsules and Capsules Plus Calcium, we recommend taking them four times per day with at least 8 ounces of liquid, as indicated."

One more thing, provide a list of all the meds you are on in order to run an interaction check with Metamucil.
