Generally, no. Synthroid tablets, particularly lower dosages, are often scored to Suggest splitting, but this isn’t always accurate, and doing so can significantly impact the dosage. Inconsistencies in drug distribution across the tablet mean you might get an inaccurate amount of levothyroxine.
Contact your doctor or pharmacist. They can help determine the best way to adjust your dosage. They might suggest a different formulation or strength of Synthroid that better suits your needs.
| Different Synthroid Strength | Your doctor may prescribe a tablet with a dosage closer to your required amount, eliminating the need to split a tablet. |
| Liquid Synthroid | A liquid formulation allows for more precise dosage control. This is a particularly good option for those needing very precise adjustments. |
Never attempt to split a tablet without consulting your healthcare provider. Incorrect dosage can negatively impact your thyroid hormone levels, leading to potential health problems. Accurate dosing is paramount for effective thyroid treatment.
