Why has my FT3 dropped even though I've raised my T3?......on T4 and T3

2 Replies

I'm on a combo of Levo and T3

Levo 75 mcgs and T3 10 mcgs - my last ft3 bloods were 5.4 ( 3.1-6.8)

Having raised my t3 dosage to 15 mcgs my latest bloods are 5 ( 3.1-6.8)

Why has it gone down instead of going up??

The latest research has recommended a 1 to 3 dose to be prescribed, i.e. 25mcg of T3 to 75mcg of T4 (or equivalent whichever dose is taken).

Not what you're looking for?
