My doctor has now prescribed me with T3 (Liothyronine Sodium) and I have collected this from the chemist this morning.
Please can someone help me with this? I have to divide each 20mcg tablet into quarters and take 1 quarter at 7.00am, 1 at 1pm and 1 at 6.00pm all before food. My questions are these please:
Do these timings have to be the same every day or can I vary them each day ie 7.00am one day and 6.00am the next?
Can I alter these timings to see what suits me best?
How far apart do the tablets need to be to work best?
Would taking a dose near bedtime stop me sleeping or help me sleep?
How long before food do I need to take them?
Should I take a dose today or leave it until tomorrow and start at 7.00am?
How long does it take the tablets to work after taking them each time and from first starting them today?
How many tablets can I cut up in advance (ie do they lose their potency once cut?
Thank you so much in advance for all your help.
Best wishes
Kathy
