Lar,

I found the Methocel info , if you are interested
http://www.colorcon.com/pharma/mod_rel/methocel/literature/Hydroph_Matrix_Broch.pdf
pp 13 of 37 ..graph..click on enlarge to 200% to see it!
All compounding pharmacies I have contacted so far all use METHOCEL E4M..which does look like the current optimal choice for the purpose.
Note thought that with ONLY 25% Methocel, specified percentage of the drug you which to slow release and LACTOSE ..to speed up the release ..you get only about 80% of the drug (THYROID) in 8 1/2 hrs or so...90% in 12 hrs ..and 93% in 14 hrs etc.
Think I've got the drug release rate pretty right as I confirmed with my body temperatures, which are sensitive enough to the thyroid meds to act as a gauge
Really appreciate all your help,
Jan
