Thanks so much for replying. I thought there might not be a 25mg. I'll start breaking the tablet in half.

I use Wockhart 25mcg with Almus(Actavis) 100mcg. Mercury Pharma make a 25mcg but I find their brand don’t suit me.

I have 100 & 50mcg FLAMB don't know whether they do a 25mcg one.

Ring your chemist, they should be able to tell you. Failing that you could use a tablet splitter with a 50mcg tablet. Not ideal though, I know.

Not what you're looking for?
