Hello. I got a higher dose of tirosint200 instead of 75 micrograms by mistake. If there is 1 ml in the tube. It's how do I take the right dose. Syringe? I am not able to convert the drug to the right dose. I take 75 micrograms of euthyr every day

Tirosint Sol is available as single-dose containers. Due to the inability to precisely divide the dose of the drug, the contents of the containers should not be divided into smaller doses. After opening a single-dose container, its contents should be used immediately, so even if you try to divide the 200 microgram dose into 75 micrograms, you would have to discard the unused part of the container each time. If you do not have the medicine in the correct dose and dividing it is the only chance of administering it, you can temporarily use a 1 ml syringe to divide the dose and use it to measure 0.375 ml of the drug solution corresponding to a dose of 75 micrograms. Precisely measuring the dose in this way is very difficult. As I mentioned earlier, this is not in accordance with the recommendations, because it does not allow precise dose division, which is extremely important in the case of drugs containing levothyroxine. Its use is allowed only temporarily, in emergency situations. If the incorrect dose of the drug was issued as a result of an error on the prescription, you should ask your doctor to issue a new prescription. If the medicine has been erroneously dispensed by your pharmacist, you can ask to replace the medicine with the correct one.
