tablets occasionally dissolving in mouth... is this right and ok ?

[ianessex]

some mornings I'm finding my pill,, mercury pharma 100s, actually dissolving in mouth as soon as I put it in. I can feel it happen and quickly chug down load of water but I can taste it after and doesn't feel right. is this ok and common with levo ? seems to be more common lately as can't recall having this issue in the past. thanks

Interesting - suggests variation between batches doesn't it?

I'm deff getting it more lately, leaves terrible after taste ,

I'm sure you have done this already but have you told your pharmacist and asked why this is happening? Also is your pack within date and has it been kept at the recommended temperature? Sounds pretty horrible I hate tasting pills.

hi,, checked and yes is well in date,, but I've got another pack out and will keep in bedroom which is cooler than lounge,, see if it happens again.. thanks..

This has also happened to me lately and I wonder if MP Levo also causes awful powdery feeling in mouth, not to mention nasty chemical taste. Janet.

[ianessex in reply to nightingale-56]

yeah I get all that but just started to think perhaps that's normal,, not nice though..

It doesn't sound right as levothyroxine is supposed to dissolve in stomach, not mouth.

[ianessex in reply to shaws]

exactly what I thought ,,

I have been taking levothyroxine for years. My current month supply is dissolving in my mouth as soon as it hits my tongue. Called the drug company and they said that is normal! NO IT IS NOT!

I have had two tablets in my current batch do this.

I suggest you put in a Yellow Card report identifying it as a defective medicine.
