Levothyroxine brand
Hi all, I'm after some advice please. I've been taking levothyroxine for a few years, my 100mcg tablets have always been supplied by the LLoyds pharmacy next to my GP, and have always been Accord brand (or Northstar which I believe are the same Accord tablets in different packaging). I assume Lloyds

Please could you advise me before my appointment with my GP.It seems that the gp is going to suggest lowering my thyroxine. I presume its due to my suppressed THS as the results are as follows. THS .001 (0.27 4.20) T4 20 pmol/L (22-20) T3 5.6 pmol/L (3.2-6.8) 100mcg levo and 10 mcg T3

Best UK substitue for US Synthroid
Hi, I lived in the US for over 20 years and was prescribed Synthroid for underactive Thyroid. I found that the generic levothyroxine brand was not effective. I have moved back to the UK and would like to find a brand that is as close to Synthroid as possible. Would appreciate any recomendations.
