There is lactose in my T4...

[autumnchill]

...and I cannot help it. It is a small amount, but still. No other med like Thyroxin by Orion is available within the prescription.

The pharmacist said that it is far better to have T4-levels in balance than to worry about a tiny amount of lactose in a tiny pill. Maybe so.

Do YOU agree???

It is 25 mcg tablet. There was no option. I must check the bigger size tablet, then. Anyway, I have to start with half of the 25mcg so there´s no sense asking for the 100 mcg tablets yet. It will not be easy to divide a 100 mcg tablet into tiny crumbs!!!

You can ask prescription of liquid t4. That is handled as lio, so you need to apply and pay for applying.

As far as I am concerned it should be possible.

Unless you are a vegan I agree with the chemist, unless you find it makes you worse of course which you will only know if you try...

NO! If you are allergic you are allergic. The doctor should realise this, personally I refused carbimazole because it contained maize (which I am intolerant to. No one can force you to take anything don't take anything thatmakes you worse.

Can you switch brands? Tirosint (which is what I take) is a capsule and contains only gelatin, glycerin and water.
