Kimbley28,

Have you had a change of meds or supplements? Changed your bath or shower gel? Changed your washing detergent?

Kimbley28,

Was the extra 25mcg or 75mcg tablet the same as the 50mcg tablet you were taking?

Kimbley28,

If you were okay on the 50mcg Mercury Pharma and the rash began after you started 25mcg Teva you are probably having an allergic reaction. Take 1.5 Mercury 50mcg tablets and see whether the rash subsides.

If it does tell your GP practice you've had an allergic reaction to the Teva 25mcg and need another prescription so the pharmacist can give you a different make.

Tell the pharmacist you've had an allergic reaction to Teva 25mcg and ask for Mercury Pharma 25mcg and 50mcg. If they can't get MP 25mcg try Wockhardt 25mcg.

You can report the adverse effects of the Teva 25mcg via
