Actavis v Teva

All of a sudden my meds are coming through by Teva and not actavis, even my diazepam and propranolol.

Is Teva a cheap substitute of actavis?

Need to test all my levels again including antibodies but have a cold. Is it best to leave well alone for now,?

Jefner,

Teva and Actavis are different makes of Levothyroxine.

One of my inhalers has been changed to a Teva brand of the same medication. I looked it up and it is a fair bit cheaper than the other brand.

Lots of members have had side effects from Teva Levothyroxine. You could ask for your previous brand to be supplied if you don't get on with it.
