If I have raw liothyronine sodium powder:
1. Is there a way to make T3 tablets or to cap T3 somehow instead of reconstitute it as a solution for injection (the only reference to raw T3 powder I have found so far; used only in the hospital in emergency cases of myxedema coma)? They do that in the production of Cytomel/T3 tablets in pharmaceuticals of course. Do research chem labs make the liquid T3 by just dissolving it in a solution? If so, would it imply that I can just take the raw powder and cap it? Or would it have to be "reconstituted" like the T3 solution for injection is?
2. Say I CAN simply cap the raw T3: If I weigh out 1 mg of lithyronine powder ('raw' T3) and combine with 100 mg (1 g) of filler and then weigh out 10 x 10 mg doses, each dose would contain about 100 mcg T3. Is this correct? My reasoning is below.
1 mg T3 + 100 mg filler = 101 mg total
101 mg / 10 doses = 10.1 mg/dose
10.1 mg total = 10.0 mg filler + 0.1 mg T3
Because 1 mg = 1000 mcg and I divided 1 mg T3 by 10, and 1/10 mg = 100 mcg (1000 mcg / 10 = 100 mcg).
Assuming I can only weigh to 1 mg accuracy, each dose when weighed out would weigh 10 mg according to the scale, but in reality it would contain slightly more than 10 mg which the scale cannot read. The slightly more would be the 100 mcg T3 in an ideal scenario where the T3 powder was distributed equally between exactly 10 doses.
If I am correct, then this would make weighing T3 possible without access to a mcg scale, provided you take into account that the T3 might not be evenly distributed, etc. The bigger the amount, the more accurate it would be. 100 mg T3 + 10,000 mg filler would yield 1,000 doses that are more likely to contain exactly 100 mcg of T3 each.
...or am I way off?
