Why is it recommended to take florinef 100 mcg 3x/week (every other day) instead of taking 50 mcg every day? does it work better the first way?

The dosage: has been "worked out" by your treating Practitioner and is INDIVIDUALIZED .It "works best" the way you were advised to take it! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
