Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Hi Clair, I can answer the question about splitting 100 mg of PTU in three. That's what I've been doing, as many people feel that the more even the dose, the better. I got a pill cutter from the drug store and cut my two 50 mg. tabs in half. That makes three halves for the three daily doses, plus one half left over. That one I cut into three, adding one piece to each half. I lose a bit and occasionally throw out a tablet and start over, but it generally works. I became hypo on 100 mg PTU and added 50 mcg Synthroid daily (synthetic T4 replacement, I think), which has made me feel much better. I have no idea what my antibody count is, though. Best wishes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Thanks so much ! That makes sense =) I still have to discuss these results with my doctor before I get to a dose change, but I was haing trouble comprehending how 100 could be divided into 3 equal portions =) Clair > > Hi Clair, > > I can answer the question about splitting 100 mg of PTU in three.
