... day before the breakfast. (In fact, I use 2 x 50 mcg tablets per day, instead of buying new 100 mcg tablets)
I see in Merck's drug manual that 2 x 50 mcg is smilar to 100 mcg. But, since I am not sure, I just want to ask that Does two 50 mcg pills have the same effect as one 100 mcg pill? Does it make any problem to take two tablets every day?
Hi, My doctor has advised me to take 100 mcg Levothyroxine. So I took two tablets of 50 mcg each?

I agree. Save money when you can. You can triple check with your pharmacist, if you like. Take care, karen

Merck is generally a very good reference. There is no reason you can't take 2 50mcg pills to equal 100.
