Could Multiple Smaller Dosages Be Used To Make Up For Actual Dosage?
my Doctor prescribed Levthyroxine foe my thyroid medicine. My dosage for 2 years has been .112MG. My last refill was issued with a dosage of .025MG by mistake at our pharmacy before we left on 2week cruise. Is it alright to take multiples of pills of the smaller dosage to make up for the smaller dosage filled, until we get back?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
Please make sure that it is micro gram OR milligram, before deciding on going with multiple tablets.
If you are sure of the same then also you have to to take about 4 and less than half tablet.
If there is any doubts please consult your doctor.
Hope this suggestion will help you.
Good Luck.
