Hi thanks for replying, i have always taken the same brand over 20 years Levo but tried this brand when i was in Spain, i understand this brand is a better thyroxine, what is the difference between brands, any ideas.

Hi its all down to who makes it and which fillers they use. I bought a years supply back from Spain. Its made in Germany and far superior to the stuff in the UK. No nasty fillers and so cheap!

I never had a prescription docs here wouldnt give me one. I went private just started on NDT but the t3 making me crash and depressed. The Spanish thyroxine was never like that.
