Cytomel & thyrovine dose: clarification

[Guest guest]

To clarify on dosages of cytomel:

It comes in dosages of 5mcg, 25mcg and 50mcg. There are no decimal points

in Cytomel dosages.

Also, levothyroxine (Levoxyl, Unithroid, Levothroid, Synthroid) is listed

as 0.15 mg = 150 mcg.

The statement below would more accurately read: 100 mcg of Cytmel (T3) is

equal to 400 mcg of levothyroxine (T4).

Your concerns about the high dose were right on.

It is uncommon to be on more the 75 mcg Cytomel while hypo as evidenced in

Dr. Ain's post.
