Anyone having difficulties in obtaining 50mcg/100mcg Eltroxin?

Just been to pharmacy to collect my prescription and they advise me that the manufacturers of Eltroxin have stopped production. Is anyone aware of this? This is the only brand I can take and I know GP will be very reluctant to prescribe the liquid form which is available. Many thanks.

This has been a problem for months:

Ask them to substitute Mercury Pharma levothyroxine which is identical.
