Thyrolar: (all in mcg)

> 1/4 grain = 3.1 T3 + 12.5 T4 = T4 equivalency of 24.9 mcg
> 1/2 grain = 6.25 T3 + 25 T4 = T4 equivalency of 50 mcg
> 3/4 grain = 9.375 T3 + 37.5 T4 = T4 equivalency of 75 mcg
> 1 grain = 12.5 T3 + 50 T4 = T4 equivalency of 100 mcg
> 1 1/2 grains = 18.75 T3 + 75 T4 = T4 equivalency of 150 mcg
> 1 3/4 grains = 21.88 T3 + 88 T4 = T4 equivalency of 175.52 mcg
