Paul1108,

UK and German Levothyroxine brands all contain Maize starch. If it is causing you a problem ask your GP to prescribe liquid Levothyroxine which doesn't have fillers. Your GP probably won't be very happy as liquid Levothyroxine is expensive.

I am intolerant to maize too! I am avoiding maize with the help of my pharmacist as the doctor is no help at all.
