I have been told that fine tuning your Synthroid levels makes a big
difference
in some thyroid patients, but can be difficult for the doctor and the patient
because it requires cutting pills or alternating pills.  Why don't the makers
of Synthroid make a .005 and .010, which could make it much easier for
the doctor and patient for fine tuning.  Example:  If a patient is hypo on
.125
and hyper on .150, wouldn't it make it easier if you had 4 to 8 different
levels to work with?  Or does fine tuning really mean much?  If these pills
were available, these would be the dosages you could obtain between .125
and .150 (.130, .135, .140, .145).  And there would be more if you wanted
to split the .005.
 
Any help with this question would be greatly appreciated.
