Ep. 118: Should You Take Your Thyroid Medication Twice a Day?

In this episode of My Thyroid Health, we discuss whether once-a-day dosing of thyroid hormone replacement is best, or whether you should consider taking your medication twice a day.


What you will learn:


  • Should you switch to twice-a-day dosing?
  • Should levothyroxine/T4-only treatment be taken twice a day?
  • Should T3 or natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) treatment be taken more than once daily?
  • Can twice-a-day dosing help with weight loss?
  • How late in the day can you take a T3 medication?
