Question: How can i swith from naturethoid to synthyroid?
Brief Answer:
The 2 grains nature throid is equivalent to 200 mcg synthroid
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for your feedback.
1. Hope you consulted the endo yesterday and no biopsy was required.
2. The 2 grains of nature throid (T3/ T4) which you have been taking is equivalent to 200 mcg synthroid (T4) medicine.
3. If your thyroid hormones are in balance then the same dose equivalent might work for you.
4. I guess your doctor has told to stop naturethroid for a month and then start synthroid.
5. Please let me know complete details of the discussion you had with the endo and what they felt after studying your recent thyroid function test report.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
