Title: Thyroid question
Post by: Kentucky_cowboy on October 09, 2009, 10:50:31 AM: I know of someone who is a female and only 140ish lbs and recently got a script for thyroid medication, and the prescribed dosage for her was 150 mcg and frequency is once a day.

Does this tell you anything about half-life and dosage for bb's?

I was surprised too because bodybuilders take 25 to 100 mcg from what I understand, so maybe 100 mcg is not that bad after all.

She is probably prescribed with 150mcg of T4 thyroxine that is usual therapy for underactive thyroid and not T3 triiodothyronine common ones used in bodybuilding.

That makes sense.

Is there an approximate equivalent of T3 in mcg comparable to 150 mcg of T4?
