Can anyone recommend a levothyroxine brand similar to Wockhardt?

Good morning, so my dr has now upped my dose to 75mcg. I have previously tried the Teva brand, something I wish never ever to use again - made me feel 10000x worse, and the brand that I get on with, Wockhardt, only seem to do their dose at 25mcg. The dr had me taking two a day when I was on my 50mcg dose which was okay but now they said to take three a day, now my dose is 75mcg but only give me 56 tablets. This won’t last me long at all and feel I will constantly be at the chemist. Does anyone else have any experience of moving from this brand to another? Thanks for listening :)

You can check out the ingredients of all brands here

If you like Wockhardt it's best to stick to one brand so ask your GP to increase your prescription.

I have the list from thyroid uk and no other brand has the same ingredients as it , so as has been said better stick with it and get more. The teva was awful I agree
