A member asked:

Can i break levothyroxine tablets in half to get only half of the dose??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pharmacist: I believe you can, but the cutting has to be precisely in half as it's important to get the exact amount of a medication like levothyroxine. Your pharmacist can advise you on most of your questions about your medications and the proper way to take them, however. You could ask him/her if taking the full dose every other day would be effective instead of a half tablet daily.
