Trying another brand of Levothyroxine...

If the hairloss I’m experiencing is indeed caused by a change in fillers in the Actavis Levothyroxine, how long will it take for them to clear my system if I try another brand of Levothyroxine? Thank you!If the hairloss I’m experiencing is indeed caused by a change in fillers in the Actavis Levothyroxine, how long will it take for them to clear my system if I try another brand of Levothyroxine?

Please help with Medicheck thyroid results!

I’m currently taking 60mcg (1grain) of Thiroyd (NDT from Thailand) and 50mcg of Actavis Levothyroxine. On the whole I feel fairly well but do get tired now and then. I was low on Vitamin D so have been supplementing with 1000 D12 spray for the past 2 months.I’m currently taking 60mcg (1grain) of Thiroyd (NDT from Thailand) and 50mcg of Actavis Levothyroxine.

Change in Actavis??

Hi, I’m just wondering if fillers can change in Levothyroxine and cause symptoms? I’ve been on Actavis Levothyroxine for many many years and have recently been having symptoms of hairloss and blurry vision. Reducing my Levothyroxine was not the answer, if anything I felt worse.Hi, I’m just wondering if fillers can change in Levothyroxine and cause symptoms?

Query, Brand of Levo

Hi there I have been dispensed a different brand of 100 mcg Levothyroxine - NorthStar by Actavis, has anybody had these because it may be a coincidence but I really feel dizzy. It doesn’t happen straight away but about 4hrs later so a bit weird or just a coincidence.

Different brand of Levothyroxine to Almus/Actavis...

If I wanted to try a different brand of Levothyroxine to Almus (which has Actavis on the blister pack) what could I try? I need a 100mcg tablet. The 25mcg tablet I take is mercury pharma.

Acacia problems - anyone else have issues with it being used as a filler?

However I find that the best levothyroxine is Actavis and despite this being named on my prescription, I am often given Mercy Pharma. I get very bloated and put weight on quickly with this brand, and my food intolerances and allergies get worse. It must be the acacia filler??However I find that the best levothyroxine is Actavis and despite this being named on my prescription, I am often given Mercy Pharma.

Levothyroxine

I’m normally taking Actavis 50mg & Mercury Pharma 25mg. He’s said Actavis are stopping making levothyroxine. I’ve emailed them. He’d offered me a different brand then said, oh I can give you 3x 25mg Mercury - one months supply. So I’ve come away with that.I’m normally taking Actavis 50mg & Mercury Pharma 25mg.

LIOTHYRONINE PRESCRIBED AT LAST

I am on 100 mcg Levothyroxine (brand Almus similar to Actavis). He prescribed 75 mcg Levo and 10 mcg Liothyronine to be taken twice/day so 75 mcg Levothyroxine and 20 mcg Liothyronine (to be collected from the hospital pharmacy, which I did).I am on 100 mcg Levothyroxine (brand Almus similar to Actavis).

Actavis supply issue? Northcrest levothyroxine?

In spite of there being a note on my file that I only have Actavis, I was given Northcrest levothyroxine. I think that's right, I only saw it briefly before returning it. I was told that the supplier sent that in lieu of Actavis and that there may be a problem with supply of Actavis.In spite of there being a note on my file that I only have Actavis, I was given Northcrest levothyroxine.

Is anyone allergic to the coating/bulking of Levothyroxine?.

Does anyone else have an allergic reaction to different brands of Levothyroxine?. The only one I can take is Actavis. I was informed yesterday by my pharmacy that Actavis has been taken over by Teva. My concern is that they will change formula.Does anyone else have an allergic reaction to different brands of Levothyroxine?. The only one I can take is Actavis.

I have attached my recent blood results. I asked the Endo about adding T3 to my medication but she hasn’t done that. She has told me to increase the Levothyroxine to 75mcg from 50mcg.
