Dosing meds
Thu, 08-12-2004 - 7:12pm
I am on 800 mg of PTU. My endo advised me to take it 2 times per day. So I take 4 pills in the am w/ breakfast and then at dinner.

Anyway, I read that PTU loses its potency after 8 hours. I am definitely taking them well after 8 hours. Probably 11/12 hours. Should I change the way I take them on my own and break it up into 3/3/2 pills 3x per day?

Anyway, thought I'd throw this out there in case any knows.

Thanks,
