Drugs companies who does what?

So, like so many of you Teva has horrible effect on me.

NorthStar and Allum are Actavis nothing to do with Teva. Anyone know if Actavis make 25mcgs?

Who are Mercury Pharma in the scheme of things? Another on their own? What brands do they appear under?

Can a few who have tried different brands let me know what worked and what didn't, and what symptoms you had. Simple reason, I have a feeling that for years I have been taking a brand that has been having a reaction that I found 100 fold when I took Teva for the first time. Foggy pumped up head.

Actavis don't make 25mcg tabs.

Mercury Pharma used to supply but I think they've been bought several times over by other companies. Concordia I believe is the present supplier. This past post may be helpful.

Concordia have renamed themselves Advanz. My post from about three months ago:

Although other people's experience is always of interest, its important to be aware that the medications do affect us all differently. So one person's experience may or may not mirror your own experience. Teva levothyroxine is a great example of this, because for some people it works wonders, but for others it is truly awful. In the end, the only way to find out which medications suit you, is to trial each one until you find the best one for you.

Not what you're looking for?
