Different brand of Levothyroxine, normally take Mercury Pharma, Leeds/Bradford area...any ideas where I can get it?

I have read on this site of people becoming ill switching brands of their thyroxine.... I was only diagnosed beginning Oct 2018 and am just getting stabilised, I really don’t want to swap brands now and risk messing my system up again.... does anyone know a chemist where I can get Mercury Pharma - I’m a rep and cover from Leicester/Derbyshire up to Tyne & Wear and everything in between so travelling to get it is not a problem..

Thanks 🙏

It's pot luck what they get from their suppliers. You'd need to ring round or pop in on your travels. It's not like Boots own brand is Almus and Lloyds Pharmacy's own brand is Northstar (both Actavis rebranded for them) so you'd know you'd probably get those brands from those pharmacies.

Thanks...., Got sorted...., after trying several pharmacies..., rang a pharmacy in a very posh area of Leeds who had it in stock!!
