Good Morning,
We are probably late in answering your question, but yes, your pharmacist who dispensed the pills is the best source of information. It does sound like it is the 5 mcg. dose and he has you taking 30 mcg total per day which is a 5 mcg increase from the 25 mcg
Cytomel you were taking. I hope my answer is consistent with the pharmacist who is the only one to tell you what he actually gave you.
Please make certain you take your medication exactly per direction or you may not absorb it. Next, do not eat soy products with it, please, as soy interacts with your medication decreasing its effectiveness. I would be curious to know if you have compared the
synthroid with the cytomel and if you noticed any difference.
Store away from heat, light and not in the bathroom.
Thank you for coming to HCM. I was happy to try to help you. Please come again. Kathryn Shattler, MS,RDN Adult Nutritional Specialist, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, USA
