A member asked:

Thyroxine 37.5mcg dose are available or not if not then what reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not in USA: Levothyroxine in the usa is available as 25, 50, 75, 88, 100, 112, 125, 137, 150, 175, 200, 300 mcg. There is no 37.5 mcg dose available. However, you could take 1/2 of a 75 mcg if you like, or take 75 mcg every other day. The result would be the same. I don't know about the availability is in the uk.
