A dosing calculation spread sheet

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone.

If anyone else has had trouble with figuring out how many pills you need in a

given month or to help your doc know how to write your prescription when you are

upping your T3 dose by 6.25 or 12.5 every 3 to 7 days I have a spread sheet you

can use that my husband has created for me. He works for a pharmasudical firm in

the accounting dept. his job has him having to make spread sheets to calculate

how many doses of a medicine will be made from a given batch. he used this

knowledge to make me a spread sheet which i passed on to my doc so he would know

how many pills to write the script for. you can use this as a model to calculate

your amounts.

The spread sheet figures out the max amount based on increasing every 3 days.

then it adds up the total number of pills per month. The doc then divides that

into equal amounts to write the prescription. For example: I was taking 5 doses

each day but not every dose was the same amount. But for the script he wrote 4

times a day so that the number of pills would be able to be divided evenly. This

post from the group will not allow me to make an attachment so i will attach the

file in a reply to my own post.

You can adapt the calculation based on this model to suit your individual

amounts/dosage. My husband is about to make me a 2nd calculation starting at

125mcg.
