Brands of Levothyroxine

[ZoBo]

Would you say it's a no no to mix brands of Thyroxine, and generally the better brand/type is Accord. I'm being messed about so much due to dosage change and what the chemist can get hold of.

I think you are going to get better replies to this on the TUK forum where you posted.

There is no "better brand" it's what suits you that matters but always best to stick to one brand and you can split tablets to get the right dose if need be.

I could never tolerate tablet form of levothyroxine, so I changed over to Liquid Levothyroxine - it is always the same manufacturer.

Can I ask in what way could you not tolerate tablet form?

My body was unable to process it, so I would get a build up in the system which would give symptoms similar to an overactive thyroid Instead and also not dissimilar To thyroidtoxicous
