Hi everyone. Has anyone noticed theyve put Teva thyroxine meds back on market but its in a new formulatio?n? Why do they keep changing it when we get used to one particular brand?

Red_head40,

Yes, Lyn Mynott posted about it in October.

You haven't been used to Teva because it was taken off the market in 2012. Teva has reintroduced a new lactose-free formulation in a wide variety of doses.

Red-head40,

It was withdrawn because of complaints about inconsistency of dose and manufacturing problems. The reformulation is the only lactose-free Levothyroxine available in the UK so I hope it proves effective.

Thanks clutter I just read the post from October. Will just need to give it a try I guess. But becoming sensitive to all generic thyroxine and gp does nothing about it.
