Experiences with

Eltroxin

My previous GP, also in Westminster, prescribed my preferred Eltroxin. This is the brand that works best for me.Is my new GP being difficult, following old rules, or are there restrictions in place at present?

I started Eltroxin about 3 years ago, did a short stint on Armor, and now I'm back on Eltroxin. Before I started medication I was functioning - I could do stuff - exercise, walk, cycle even, socialise, etc. but would need lots of rest afterwards.

I have been taking Mercury Pharma / Eltroxin Levothyroxine for a while now and generally feel not too bad but not great. Ft3 and Ft4 levels are good, but I just can’t seem to shift the brain fog.

Does anyone know of an online pharmacy who stocks Eltroxin (specifically 100mg)? I have a prescription and I am getting desperate now. Short story is I can only take Mercury Pharma or Eltroxin.

I really can’t say that I think this is beneficial, it may keep the numbers lower but it does nothing for how sick I feel. I need a good endocrinologist if anyone knows of one accepting new patients. I will travel anywhere from Brampton to Fort Erie as bd I suggest you do the same if you are unsure

I have only found pics of the box of this brand of levothyroxine and not found it on a pil-identifyer image site. It seems that some Pharma's have 50mcg, sometimes 25mcg, but not consistant, so I am trying to give myself fall back options. I asked the Pharmacists and they dont know.....as its in

Someone i know was advised to get eltroxin which again don't know anything about and was told is by teva brand. When she received it's levothyroxinenatrium by teva from Netherlands. I've read few posts re teva which areygood at all.

I mentioned that I was very well aware of being in a thyrotoxicotic state having previously been overmedicated on Eltroxin resulting in weight loss, palpitations, heart murmur and seizure but that I currently had no such symptoms and felt well.

I have struggled for years trying to find a brand that agrees with me, ever since the original Eltroxin I by Glaxo disappeared. Is anyone else suffering from dry mouth and do you have any thoughts please?

having spent much time with Pharmacist & GP getting my Levo script to look the way my Pharmacist wanted it to look in order for him to be able to get me Eltroxin in future repeats a locum Pharmacist has just told me it’s been discontinued. Could this be another porky?

My pharmacy could only get eltroxin last time, but said it is the exact same pill just different packaging. A few days later and I'm not feeling that great. Could be something else, but I wanted to check with you first that they are the same.

I'm on eltroxin 100mcg od and extra 25mcg 2 days a week. Had bloods pre op in private hospital and they tested t3.My gp never tested t3.

I always get Eltroxin. The pharmacy said on Saturday that they don’t think Eltroxin is being made in 50 and 100 mcg anymore. The guy couldn’t find either on the system. He could only see the 25 mcg. Is that correct? If so, what are my alternatives? Is there anything very similar? Thank you!

My Eltroxin says not to store above 25 degrees, so I’ve been keeping it in the fridge, is this ok? I’d be really grateful for some knowledgeable advice on this. Thank you.

Further to my post about Eltroxin earlier, I’m looking for an easily accessible brand (in England) of levo that doesn’t have acacia or mannitol. I have looked at Hellvella’s list but can’t see what’s accessible here. I identified Glenmark, but nowhere sticks it or can get hold of it.

I am now on Ivabradine, Telmisartan, Clopidogrel, Staton,Eltroxin. I have some walking difficulty , forgetting. Are all these due to long drug use?

I tried adding back Eltroxin but I have a bad reaction to it. Rashes and swelling. So I am wondering if perhaps I should be taking my T3 differently, or less? Should I worry that the Free T4 is so low? I know the TSH is acceptable.

These are latest bloods, my doctor is not aware I upped my eltroxin from 50mg to 75mg. Took test at 9am last dose taken 24 hours before. My doctor said my bloods were excellent. My weight still hasn't gone down. And feeling extremely tired, but yet I'm chronic insomniac??

In 2011 they said I had an allergic reaction towards levo , which I can’t remember but it must have been when they changed me from Eltroxin which they said they couldn’t get anymore, ( prob because of price). Around 2015 they changed the brand again.
