Usually when no dose exists for an intermediate need, doctors have the patient take the higher dose and skip a day or two per week, or the lower dose and double it a day or two a week.
Since levothyroxine is not "active" but is stored around the body and converted, it does not have an instant effect, like T3 does.
I know my endo would not let me cut my 50 mcg to make 75 when I was raised. (he told me to throw them out)
Since a 37.5 does not exist, the alternative is to skip days with either one step higher or lower.
