Guest guest Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 How to split PTU. Say for example, you need to take only ONE 50mg tablet each day. THREE times a day is very important, for HEALING. Each morning take your ONE tablet. Cut in several small pieces. Make three equal piles. Take one pile in the AM. Put one pile in a cute little pill container. Take it mid afternoon. In the evening, take the third pile. If there is a memory problem involved, buy a $15 alarm watch. Set it for the time of the dose you consistently forget. If you consistently have trouble remembering to take your dose, consider IF you are a your proper set point. Also become more aware of what your body is telling you. In my experience, every single time I DID forget, I became very aware of the fact within the hour. I always could FEEL the hyper symptoms coming back. -Pam L- 3 1/2 yr.Graves and TED, PTU, Remission due to education, SLOW reduction of PTU, improved lifestyle, excellent nutrition,herbs, and looking at the BIG picture !

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2002 Report Share Posted December 3, 2002 Jody, At a low dose, it becomes as much art as science. Perhaps it is my artists eye that can easily judge how to split up those three little piles. Sure is easier than the math. = :-o And you can't go wrong as long as you use ONE whole pill in the day and it is properly spaced. It is the eight hours that made the difference for me. I just KNOW if the thyroid is allowed to go hyper between doses, the antibodies have time to increase their numbers. But then I am only working on logic. -Pam L- 3 1/2 yr.Graves and TED, PTU, Remission due to education, SLOW reduction of PTU, improved lifestyle, excellent nutrition,herbs, and looking at the BIG picture !
