I have a Physician's Desk Reference...and decided to read about thyroid meds. It said in the book that typically 40 -80% of thyroid meds are what get absorbed through the intestines. The rest is eliminated through the body. I thought that was interesting.  It reminded me of what I've read a few times about letting your pill dissolve under your tongue.  I haven't tried it. I figured I would see what just swallowing it does first!


I just thought it was interesting!

I have heard about people doing it under their tongue.
