History Of Levothyroxine in the UK

Over the years we have had numerous questions about UK brands of levothyroxine.

The history of companies, brands and so on is incredibly complicated and difficult to follow. What I have done is collect some information together and, hopefully, make it more accessible.

This is a difficult challenge, full of potential for mistakes, easy to miss entire chapters, and even when it has been gathered, presentation needs to be considered.

I have reached the stage of having a draft on which I would appreciate comments. It will be full of mistakes. It is a first draft.

Wonderful document helvella . The only error I can find is in the first spelling of Amdipharm where you have an extra i (Amidipharm). No wonder we have problems with Levothyroxine with all those changes. Thanks for all your hard work.
