Hello Dave1,

I hope that your MD has shared with you that any thyriod replacment therapy (TRT) should be regulated by regular blood lab screening.
(specifically TSH and T-3) It is by these lab values that your MD can establish a theraputic baseline for your TRT.
It should be checked at least yearly if
not more often.

Also he should have told you that any TRT is best absorbed on an EMPTY stomach.( The dose is so small that for it to be mixed with food and metabolized you only get a partially dose-effect. Half hour before a meal or two hours after..)

Just an FYI.. hope this helps...
