5mg T3

[rocketrob01]

Good afternoon everyone,

What do people do when prescribed with 5mcg of T3.

Is it possible to source 5mg and if so at what cost, or do you cut 10mcg or 20mcg?

Is it even possible to cut 20mcg into 5mcg pieces?

Many thanks.

Updated to correct doses.

There are a few makes of 5 microgram (not milligram!) in the UK.

Are you asking about a private prescription?

I have cut with a scalpel privately sourced 20mcg tablets into quarters to get my 5mcg doses. Or I also get 5mcg size tablets Morningside off the NHS.
