Hi,

Just curious if there is any difference? I’ve read up and they seem the same but I am worried I’m missing something?

Thanks

Euthyrox is just a brand name, the active ingredient is levothyroxine sodium. The only difference will be fillers.

Euthyrox is just one brand of levothyroxine.

There is some confusion as the product supplied under that name may not be identical in all countries where a product called Euthyrox is available. But the fundamental active pharmaceutical ingredient is the same.
