The fillers in levothyroxine can cause reactions such as itchiness. Some of the formulas have acacia, which is in the ragweed family that can definitely cause itching. Many also react to lactose, cellulose and the dyes used, as well.

Liver congestion can also cause constantly itchy skin. Milk Thistle, dandelion and Quercetin are good for liver health and can help reduce the itchiness.
