What’s the right ratio t4 / t3 meds

Hello there ,,

I’d like to ask if we can increase dosage of T3 meds and keep levothyroxin at the same dose ( I don’t feel well when taking 50 mcg of levo ) ?

I’m taking levothyroxin 25 mcg and cytomel 5 mcg

Thanks in advance

There isn't a "right ratio". We need what we need. Some people need 4:1 Levo:T3, some 3:1, some 10:1, I need about 6:1. It's all about finding out what suits us best.

When you've got your new test results and you post them, with their reference ranges, we may be able to help you further.
