Has anyone found that Teva T3 isn’t as strong as Mercury Pharma?

Many many people don't get along with Teva Levothyroxine. Most as result avoid Teva T3 as well (unless lactose intolerant)

Yes, it’s either not as strong or it’s no good at all. I think I favour the latter!

Hi,

Teva Levo is useless for me , l got it by mistake from the chemist and l definitely felt the difference so l wouldn’t even consider taking Teva T3.

Thank you.

I did wonder if it was weaker as I am feeling jittery again with chills and I’m usually like this when I’m undermedicated

I agree, now taking it for over a month and not so good on it, also my skin tingles since taking it, reported it to pharmacist, but says he is no longer able to get Mercury.

Thank you for your reply.

Funnily enough, along with the chills I’ve bern getting tingles too,

I’m sure your pharmacists can get Mercury Pharma one’s.

My pharmacy order them in for me.

I only took the Teva t3 as there was a stand in pharmacist there and so I agreed to take them

I really appreciate your reply

I’ve now started getting clammy sweats.

Different from sweating in the heat.

It’s a clammy sticky sweat.

So I now have:

Chills

Tingling

Bit jittery

Not what you're looking for?
