Testing protocol

[Cassav]

Hi, I'm about to test my T3 and T4, 6 weeks after starting lio. I know that I need to leave 24 hours between my last levo dose and the 9am test (taking my levo straight afterwards). But what about the lio timings? I currently take 10mcg in one dose upon waking. The test is a private test and won't be shared with my GP. Thanks 😊

T3 ….day before test split T3 as 2 or 3 smaller doses spread through the day, with last dose approximately 8-12 hours before test

what size tablet T3 do you have

If 10mcg - you could take 1/2 tablet waking, 1/4 tablet early afternoon and 1/4 tablet at 9pm

If 20mcg - just take 1/4 tablet waking and 1/4 tablet at 9pm

Thank you😊 I have a 20mcg tablet so I'll take 1/4 waking and 1/4 9pm as advised
