Medication query

I am a 35 year old woman diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 6 months ok...

I was prescribed Levothyroxine, which unfortunately I became allergic too, as I am gluten and lactose intolerant.

My doctor has now prescribed a medication I cannot find any pharmacy prescribes!

Any ideas?

You need to give the name of the medication for folks to help. Also which brands of levothyroxine did you try?
