gluten and lactose free levothyroxine

[martinpatrick]

what brand of levothyroxine do coeliacs take. I take the new teva as it is gluten and lactose free. Anyone else?

Martinpatrick,

Coeliacs can take any of the UK brands of Levothyroxine as there is no gluten in Mercury Pharma, Actavis (aka as NorthStarr and Almus), Wockhardt and Teva. Teva is the only lactose-free brand.

martinpatrick,

Have a read of Coeliac UK's view on medicines and gluten:

coeliac.org.uk/coeliac-dise...

(Obviously, lactose is another issue.)
