CT3M, T3, how to divide 25µg pill

I know it might be a funny question.

So many of you taking doses as detailed as 18,25 ect. I was trying to cut pill in 4 parts but Paul in his book was writing that you can add 2µg or 5µg to final dosing. Help please.

It's pretty easy to quarter a 25mcg tablet with a pill cutter or sharp scalpel, some people have managed to cut into eights but I've never tried that. Failing that there are lower doses of T3, eg 5mg but unless prescribed they're not as easily available (nor cheap) as a 25mcg tablet without prescription.

I'm not sure if I'm answering what you are asking, not sure if you want to know about adding small doses or cutting pills, but, see if you can get a pill-cutter from a hospital. Mine is brilliant. I already had one bought from a chemist but it wouldn't split T3 pills evenly.

Also, pill cutters get dull over time and there's no way to sharpen the blade. You need a new pill cutter. Luckily they are very inexpensive and some pharmacies will give them to you for free.
