ALMUS Levothyroxine

Hi there, I need to increase my medication by 25mg having been taking 50mg of Almus Levothyroxine for a while.

Almus levothyroxine - lactose?

Hello. I've just picked up my rx for Levothyroxine from a new pharmacy. I have been happy on Wockhardt - with an addition of T3 obtained from my old doctor in the US. The packaging looked different from what I expected, and I looked before leaving the pharmacy to see to be sure it wasn't Teva (I'veHello.

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. Thank you!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.

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).

My latest query was with mercury and pharma versions of levothyroxine. My usual generics or preferred generics are either Almus, Teva and wockhardt which I do ok on. For some reason unknown to me or my pharmacist have sent me mercury and pharma for the past two months.My latest query was with mercury and pharma versions of levothyroxine.

Body itching without rash

So my body; head to toe has been itching for 2 days and there’s no rash or anything. It feels like I have to itch to stop it. if it’s not my head, it’s my back or arm etc. Could this be that I am over on my level of levothyroxine intake if I am hypothyroidism.. Does anyone else suffer with this?So my body; head to toe has been itching for 2 days and there’s no rash or anything.
