Speak to your pharmacist. He may be able to change to another generic levo. He may need another prescription from your GP. You need a replacement as you cannot go without levo but we can have sensitivites to fillers/binders in some meds.

Hi Allyball, are you hypothyroid? Were you diagnosed recently or a long time ago? Are you on Levo? And what kind of burning, are you talking about, is it your face flushing? This is one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, so it is possible it is the condition, not the pills, causing the problems.

Not what you're looking for?
