I was on Actavis 100 which was later changed to Accord ( was told the brand name has changed) and have now been given Northstar and been told they are also Actavis. Does anyone have the same experience and if so have you had any bad reaction to Northstar as after alot of trial and error I found Actavis was the one that suited me but cannot get them anywhere anymore
Actavis/ Accord versus Northstar: I was on... - Thyroid UK
Actavis/ Accord versus Northstar
If you look on the card outer it will identify the MAH licence holder. The Patient Information Leaflet will also identify the company.

The Actavis levothyroxine product (and many others) were acquired by Accord some time ago. They have recently changed the branding but not the tablets.
Northstar 100 and 50 microgram tablets are, indeed, Accord product. But this could change.
(But NOT Northstar 25 microgram tablets which are Teva product.)
If the product has changed or you have any problems with it, fill in a Yellow Card report:

Thank you for your reply, very informative, very much appreciated. Hopefully will have no problem with the Northstar then
I have accord or North start no problems where previous was activas. (That's other than problems with levo!) These the lesser evils
I always had Actavis before it became unobtainable as that brand name, now I have Northstar delivered.
There has been no difference in either the tablet or myself whatsoever, so you’ll be fine with it.
