    When I was on PTU for two years, my doctor had me take it three times a day. Reason was that it was short lived in our bodies and that taking it three times a day allowed for a more natural dose to be in our system over a longer period as opposed to all at once for about a four hour effective period.

    I think it depends on what y our levels are, how the doctor reviews your tests and your lifestyle wether they give it to you once, twice or three times daily.

    Ask your doctor the reason for a twice daily dose and ask if three times a day may suit you better. It never hurts to ask why.

    3x a day makes sense to me. I wil ask next time I see him.
    Are you still on PTU? Remission?

    Yesterday I had to go see my Dr. Terrible Day:( He raised my dose to 300mg of PTU. He said that I can take 150mg in the morning and 150mg in the evening. BUT, I have heard that taking 1oomg in the morning, 100mg in the afternoon, and 100mg in the evening is better for you. Any advice??
