Thyronorm dose
I have been prescribed thyronorm 12.5 mcg for 5 days in a week and 25 mcg on Saturday and Sunday every week. I am checking thyroid profile - free every 4 weeks.
My question is - Is it okay to take 2 different doses of thyronorm in a week i.e. higher dose only for 2 days per week? Will this not cause fluctuations in thyroid hormone levels?
Kindly advice as I am concerned.

As we don't know anything about your thyroid function so how do you expect us to know your optimum dose of thyroxin.
If you are so much conserned then why didn't you ask the doctor who prescribed you.
When you ask a question then please provide a detailed history with reports .
Just being concerned won't solve the problem.
Thyroid hormones have a long half life so it's concentration cannot fluctuate in a day or two it takes time.
Trust your doctor madam.
