or you can take 88mcg one day and 100mcg next day
Many people need to fine tune dose
If alternating dose is a bit hypo
Try 100mcg 5 days and 88mcg 2 days
Or vice versa if it’s bit too much
Important to maintain OPTIMAL vitamin levels too
Test vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin at least annually
I don't like alternating two doses because I'm sensitive to daily changes in hormone so I prefer to cut in half two different doses like 88mcg and 100mcg to get 94mcg per day. Some brands like Levoxyl will easily snap in half with your fingers.
yes you can, get a pill splitter from the pharmacy. There are studies out there that show it’s just as accurate
I am in the united states and I take synthroid as i do like brand drugs vs generic....I only take 50 mg and this is because I have a small thyroid tumor and this has kept it under control for 16 years. question your doctor as to why you need so much. Abbie (I think) makes synthroid and they can be called for questions.
~As others have noted I believe you can cut pills in half - I do with my pillcutter~ Good luck ~
