No, they should not.
swkenzie, magnesium stearate appears to be a filler ingredient in most tablet forms including Levothyroxine and Liothyronine.
It would be better if they didn't, but you'll be hard pressed to find any that don't - or don't contain something worse to make the powder flow freely. it's used to stop the tablet/capsule machines getting clogged up.
Not what you're looking for?
