How can I ask for only a certain manufacture of levothyroxine

[Daisy59]

I read that Mylan is awful manufacturer. Now I'm wondering if my symptoms got worse with a particular manufacture. My manufacturer now is Lannett. But in researching I was at one time using Mylan. I am going to see if I can get a run down of which levothyroxine mfg, I've been taking.

Lannett is (or was) Unithroid. A respected make.

You can look at your tablets and identify the manufacturer from the markings. Use link below:

All prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs in the U.S. are required by the FDA to have an imprint code.

I know what I am taking now. I don't have old pill bottles to know what I've taken in the past. I was wondering if for example the pharmacy gives me a manufacturer I know hasn't done me well if I can ask for a different manufacturer. I guess I would just have to change pharmacys.

In the UK, virtually all levothyroxine (and most other tablet medicines) come in blister packs within card outer boxes. The "livery" (name, colours, layout, etc.) is obvious.

Further, we only have three manufacturers... Keeps it (relatively) simple.

It depends on where you live. You have not put that on your profile, nor in this response.
