Levothyroxin Tab
UpdatedI am allergic to the dye in the 112mcg Synthroid tablets. Does anyone know of a 112mcg that is white??? Levothyroxine ?
I am now taking 2 pills on 5 days and 3 pills on 2 days. 50mcg each.

I am allergic to the dye as well, and should be on 112 mcg. too. I like your idea of 2 pills (white..50 mcg.) for 5 days, and 3 pills for 2 days. So glad you posted your idea. Splitting the pills just doesn't work. If any Manufactures are reading this, please refrain from putting dyes in meds!!! Serious side effects can result, and the dyes make it difficult for some of us to take the proper dosage amounts that are prescribed.
Your pharmacy should be able to provide you with a dye free option, though they may have to order a supply in for you, so it is best to make sure to alert them to the issue in advance.
Alternative doses, such as taking more pills on some days, and less on others, has become much more common, since it helps many people get better control of their thyroid hormones, but you should only do this, if your doctor approves.
The typical side effects of Levothyroxine may include nausea, dizziness, headache, hair loss, mood changes, and weight changes.
Is there anything I can help with?
