100 mcg of T-3? :eek:

actually, my guess is that's not t-3 but actually t-4.

t-3 = triiodothyronine

t-4 = levothyroxine

considerign the label, i'm guessing you've got t-4. dosage is right too. i wouldn't take it if i were you, cuz it could amke you wig out a bit, as it's the storage form of the hormone, and might lead to toxicity, as it floats around in your blood stream waiting to be converted to t-3 as necessary.

Well levothyroxine is t-4 which looks like the root of the word...sorry I'm not up to date on my slavic. Which is what I believe you have as I've t-3 is not prescribed in doses that high so a drug manufacturer would not produce such a product.

The root of all t-3 products is thyronine so unless "x" is switched with "n" in slavic you have t-4.

and levo = 4 in latin, which is what that description is anyway.

natricum = sodium ;)
