Hi all. Had my levo brand changed from Mercury to actavis, I have taken it for 8 days now, last couple of days have felt a bit ropey is it possible for the change in brand to have this effect? To clarify I'm on 175 levo. 100 actavis , 75 Mercury.

Cheers

Clubby29, tell your pharmacist you are feeling unwell with the brand change and ask him/her to change the Actavis for Mercury Pharma and to ensure that only Mercury Pharma is dispensed to you in future. Always check you have the right brand before you leave the pharmacy as they may refuse to exchange once you've left the premises.

Hi, thanks for reply.Ironicly I have been asked to go for a drugs review before they will issue me with any more of anything. Going to see the same doctor that refused to accept that I might have Hashimoto or gluten would effect it even if I had,hoping the endo she sent me to has sent his report in about me definately having Hashimoto. It was the only part of that meeting that was positive .
