Hi can I ask if what I am about to do is ok.

I take T4 of 75mcg per day making. 525 mcg per week

I only have tablets of 100mcg plus some 25s and no 50mcg. The 100s are quite small and don’t think my pill cutter would do the job

Having taken 75 mcg this am is it alright if I take 4 days of 100tabs plus 25 x 2 on one day . This makes up the same amount in a week

My question is is that ok to do

Thanks

Thanks Kell-E

I would break it up so 2 days of 100mcg then 1 day of 50mgthen another 2 days of 100mcg.N that would be the same as need to cover 7 days.T3 stays in you system for 3 days so will build up over 4 days and it might betoo much for you. Can you nibble you 100mcg tab or is it too small.Is it scored. I dont think it will do you much harm to take the way you have suggested but you may get side effect after 3 days or so.
