Medicine refilled

Has this happened to anyone? I’ve been on thyroid medicine for 10 yrs but I just received my refill three days ago (same place, same dosage) and for three days I’ve have felt terrible (cold, tired, dizzy). I question this refill. Thanks everyone!

It is a possibility that the pharma company who made your tablet has changed something within it and that could affect bodies negatively.

Query first with the supplier.

Thanks. I was going to contact my doctor but you know how that goes. They always think we are overreacting especially when the numbers or within range.

Which product did they dispense to you - previously and this time?

Levothyroxine 100mcg. Same mail order pharmacy and same dosage but I have felt so dizzy, cold, and exhausted since starting this refill

But what make? If you don’t know just tell us the markings on the tablets. 😀

516 on one side, and JSP on the other, round yellow, manufactured by AMNEAL

Well there are no recalls and, as it is the same as before, then maybe you should question the pharmacy and put in a report with the FDA?

It is actually Unithroid manufactured by Jerome Stevens Pharmaceuticals.

This is the JSP detail:
