Yet again Northstar boxed TEVA

A short while ago I posted that Lloyds pharmacy (then Echo) had supplied me with 25mcg Levo tablets in Northstar box but with TEVA tablets despite my prescription being explicit that I was not to be dispensed TEVA.

Many of your replied or commented and it sparked debate on quantity of prescriptions as well as quality - thank you - if only I could find my original post but i am rubbish and despite looking cannot find it.

However less of my self berating - after your advice I told my doctor that both Wockhardt and Mercury Pharma still manufactured 25mcg Levo and would they put this on a new prescription for me - they did this within 24hrs and LLoyds app contacted me for me to approve the required meds. They arrived today - guess what they sent - YEP Northstar boxed TEVA - I am of course livid and have put in yet another complaint to Lloyds - who dont work weekends!

My question to you lovely people - any online pharmacies you use who can supply both my Liothyronine - morningside - and Levothyroxine 75mcg (not TEVA)?

Sorry your pharmacy are such idiots they don't seem to be able to read.

I have no experience of online pharmacies so can't help you there I'm afraid.

The only online pharmacy I have experience of is Lloyds, I have only ever been prescribed one dose and one brand of levo so am unable to help. It would seem to be an indictment of the NHS that it cannot respond to patients requests for alternative meds. Have seen so many posts that show how generally unhelpful GPs are towards their patients and not only with thryroid issues. I assume that you have a GP prescription since I am not aware that other meds for are available OTC. Other online pharmacies: wearephlo.com/online/pharmacy, simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk and medexpress. Good luck!
