Hi.My brand has just changed to Teva and always had Actavis. Ive now developed itchy red skin and sore itchy eyes. Anyone else had this?

Teva thyroxine!

Many members have an adverse reaction to Teva, it is Lactose free and they use Mannitol instead and this seems to be one of the things people are reacting to.

Send in a Yellow Card Report

Then ask either your GP to name Actavis (which is now actually rebranded as Accord) on your prescription or ask the pharmacy to only dispense that brand in future due to your adverse reaction to Teva.

Thankyou I will do. Ive just had my blood test again as my levels are up and down at the minute. Hopefully going back to Actavis will help. Its driving me mad!
