Can i take my morning meds during Intermittent Fast?

Due to some health issues, i have to take some medicines in the morning (namely Iron and Thyroid meds), that too on an empty stomach.
Doing so, would it break my Fast?

Answer

I too take thyroid medication and iron. I was told that iron and thyroid medication shouldn’t be taken together, and that there needs to be at least 4 hours between the 2. To remedy that I take my thyroid medication in the morning with water and my iron after my meal in the evening.
