Thyroid-S 60mgs

Hi all

I currently take 100mgs Levo (recently upped from 75) and 20mgs T3. I bought Thyroid-S from Canada and wondered if i could just switch straight over or whether I should do it gradually? Also should I stop taking T3 also? Many thanks for your help.

SaraB09,

As you are already used to T3 you can swap straight over to 2.5 grains of Thyroid-S which contains 22.5mcg of T3.

Thank you clutter. Sorry to ask a stupid question but what do you mean by 2.5 grains? The medication I bought was in tablet form so does this mean 2.5 tablets? Thanks again

SarahB09,

Yes, 1 x 60/65mg tablet is 1 grain so you need 2.5 tablets.

Thank you so much for the information. I will take the dose of 2.5 tablets as I was thinking it would only be 2 tablets.
