Different brand of Levothyroxine to Almus/Actavis...

[Sarahlouise1980]

If I wanted to try a different brand of Levothyroxine to Almus (which has Actavis on the blister pack) what could I try? I need a 100mcg tablet. The 25mcg tablet I take is mercury pharma. Thank you!

Have a look through this document on ThyroidUK's main website. It lists all available Levothyroxine brands in the UK.

thyroiduk.org/tuk/treatment...

Actavivs/Northstar/Almus are all Actavis.

Thank you! So mercury pharma do not do 100mcg tablets?

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to Sarahlouise1980]

According to that document Mercury Pharma is the licence holder for

Eltroxin (Advanz)

Levothyroxine (Advanz)

[the two top ones in the list]

and they do a 100mcg dose tablet.

Do you get the 50mcgs or 100mcgs? I didn’t realise they did a 100mcg. Thank you!
