Intolerance to fillers in Erfa thyroid

Can anyone tell me if Erfa contains any lactose? I am intolerant to this. Also does it contain gluten in any form or sugar which could cause yeast infection.

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately I am allergic to levothyroxine as well as lactose intolerant. I am trying taking the Erfa sublingually to see if that helps.

Hi Kate, I am lactose intolerant to normal levo tablets and was on ERFA and Armour and felt the same - I now have liquid lactose free thyroxine which is great - its expensive but if you have had a test which shows you are lactose intolerant you are entitled to be prescribed it as it is dangerous if you are losing medication via the loo if you get my drift.
