Storing Levothyroxine

Hi, I am on 75 mcg Accord Levo.I have to cut one 50mcg to make the 25mcg. Do you think it’s safe to store my daily dose in the weekly plastic container. Sometimes the cut tablet can be quite powdery and I worry they can become toxic with being in plastic container. Would it be ok to take 2 - 50 mcg alternate days with 1-50mcg tablet on the next day.

Thankyou

Personally I cut a weeks worth of Levo (taking 112.5mcg which needs 25mcg cut in half) and use a weekly dispenser, keeping it somewhere dry

But you could cut 25mcg as you go every other night…..just storing for one night
