TEVA LIQUID

[posthinking01]

Hi everyone - I know TEVA was causing issues a while back has this been resolved as I am having difficulty getting Mercury Pharma and might have to go to TEVA which I have always resisted.

Have you heard about Martindales purified levo? This is what I take. It’s simply levothyroxine on calcium phosphate on a gel capsule, no other fillers and binders.

Hi there thanks for your reply - I have to take Lactose free liquid - is this one LF?

[Chippysue in reply to posthinking01]

Yes, it’s literally levothyroxine with calcium phosphate in a gel capsule - hand made by Martindale’s (Romford) but the public cannot contact them. GP prescribes and pharmacy has to hold an account with Martindale’s and it’s classed as a special order. Very expensive but then so is liquid version

Agh OK I remember this company now - they supplied a friend of mine with progesterone etc. - prescribed exactly as to her requirements from a blood test - a company to remember - I think they are called compound chemists like the old days.

Here are the excipients (ingredients other than the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) of most UK Levothyroxine Oral Solution products. There is no reason to think that different strengths have different excipients but, just in case, do check.

I could have missed some products.
