Gelatine

[Shenow]

Does anyone know if you can get thyroxine without gelatine. I am on levothyroxine which contains gelatine. I am vegetarian so not impressed being prescribed it! Thanks

All UK levothyroxine tablets do not contain gelatine.

That is good but here in France it does. I'll ask my Endo for a different brand or liquid, when I see her next; Thanks for letting me know it is possible;

None of us knew you were posting from a France perspective!

Afraid my French is not good enough to tackle websites which might list the various products available there - and their ingredients.
