This is the first formulation I have had that I feel like me in n. Previous experiences with lactose based were a disaster and even the liquid mercury pharmacy gave me very noticeable side effects with low dosage.

So far on the 12.5 I have tolerated it with out obvious discomfort. I am looking forward to my hair growing back and more strength and energy

Thought it must be.

Some people think and feel as you do. But many cannot tolerate it!

The main difference would appear to be that Teva uses mannitol whereas the other UK levothyroxine tablets use lactose.
