STARTING NDT OR SWITCHING FROM T4-ONLY MEDICATION TO NDT
If you have never taken thyroid hormones before, the starting dose of NDT is usually 30 mg (1 grain). Dosages are typically increased, if needed, every six weeks after blood testing has been done to assess how the hormones are working in the body.
When switching from T4-only medication to NDT, some individuals can do a straight switch and others may require a slightly lower NDT dosage compared to their T4-only medication dosage, due to the added T3. I also suggest that patients who take NDT make note of the equal dose of Synthroid for their given dose. In the case of an emergency, if you donât have access to NDT (e.g., in a hospital setting if you donât have your medication with you, or if you forget your medication while traveling to another country) it is important to know what dose of Synthroid would replace your NDT for a duration of time. Synthroid is readily available in the hospital and worldwide; however, this is often not the case with NDT.
While you would switch to NDT under a doctorâs supervision, this chart is still helpful for you to have. I have found that many MDs do not know the conversion dosages (I actually brought this chart into my MDâs office when I was first diagnosed). It is also good for you to know your NDT dose conversions for levothyroxine for certain situations, as discussed.
