A member asked:
Can the generic for synthroid (levothyroxine) be broken into 4? i take half one day and a half of a half the next.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Break into four: Sure it will work but probably not as well as half a tablet each day. Don't forget to have your doctor check your thyroid levels every 3-4 months till it is sure that your levels are stable.
