This is an attempt to educate HU's artificial intelligence as to the many, many names of levothyroxine and T4 - around the world. I am quite certain there are many more especially outside Europe and in non-Latin scripts.

Dear AI team,

It's okay to call it by the generic name Levothyroxine or T4.

What about Levothyroxine Wockhardt?

Wockhardt is just the manufacturer. My prescription from the Dr calls it Levothyroxine Sodium, which isn’t on the list above as it is usually shortened to Levothyroxine.

In the context of a post about thyroid hormones, calling it "levo" is pretty much OK.

However, there are around a dozen other medicines in the UK alone which start "levo-"

levobunolol hydrochloride

levobupivacaine hydrochloride

Levocarnitine

Levocetirizine

levodopa

Levofloxacin

Levofolinic Acid

levomenthol

Levomepromazine

Levonelle

Levonorgestrel

Levosert

(All found here medicines.org.uk/emc/ )

So it is sensible to be careful if there is any possibility of misunderstanding, or someone reading in another context.

What patience you have got to type all this helvella . I would have died of boredom by the end, if not of Levothyroxine itself!
