[Bridkid67]

Hi just a quick question further to .y other posts Dr increased my levothyroxine to 75mcg so now i have 50mcg in one prescription and 25mcg in another do i take them both together or better to try and get one 75mcg tablet ? thanks

The 75mcg tablet would be Teva as the only option and many people don't get on well with that brand due to the excipient mannitol it contains.

You would take the 25mcg and 50mcg tablet together. If you can get the same brand or at least the same different brands at each prescription then so much the better.

Hi there, I am on 75mcg and like you they come in 50 and 25 packs. I have been taking them together at the same time for a very long time without any problem.
