I was given pill with L 20 marked on them, they look very like liothyronine pills, which I thought they were, I started taking them yesterday, I started to fell unwell last night, I looked at the pills and saw L 20 .I googled L 20 and came up with Latuda, Im going back to boots, my question is "Does any brand of liothyronine have L 20 marked on them?
Thanks

Clutter is, of course, quite right. The Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) for Teva 20 microgram liothyronine tablets in the UK says clearly that they are marked L20. (They are also 6mm across and the shape is called "biconvex" - that information is not in the PIL.)
If you were not given a PIL, then I urge you always to ask for one, every time you receive a prescription. Even if it is a product you have been taking for a long time.
In my view, all prescriptions fulfilled online must have the correct Patient Information Leaflet supplied with the product. It is ridiculous to even consider that you might have to ask for one. Using (or re-using?) wrongly labelled packaging must also be avoided.
