Synthroid change to Nature-Throid

My total thyroid was removed because of Cancer. I have gone through Radiation Abliation and am cancer free. I am on Synthroid .50 five days a week & .75 for two days.  My dosage has been changed several times. I would like to know what would be the correct dosage if I change to Nature-Throid?  The conversion chart is confusing?   I am having problems getting my levels correct.  Will Nature-Throid work to suppress recurrence of cancer and work better to level the TSH, T3, & T4?

Your levels of meds seem fairly low for a total TT.

Nature-throid is now available and will be available.   I need to know the conversion from Synthroid 400 mg per wk (7 days) to Nature-throid.

Nature-throid is not readily available due to indefinite back-order of these types of products.  Would stay with synthroid (or other levothyroxine product) but stick with a brand as control of levels is part of the cancer therapy.
