Hi all I have a question, does anyone else taking Levo get bouts of diarrhoea? Before I had my thyroid killed off I was hyper and had bad bouts of diarrhoea. Then I had a year of life without worrying about being near a loo. Now I’m back to having that worry.

I’m on 75 mg mon to Friday 100mg sat an sun. I take them and hour before eating every morning. I am also having to take folic, vit D and vit B12.

Help please

Has brand of Levo been changed recently and diarrhoea coincided with this?

Thankyou for answering My pharmacist gives you the cheapest so I can get different brands all the time.

At the mo I have 25mg brand mercury pharma, 50mg brand almus and my weekend brand 100mg aristo . So to be honest not sure if that is why I am having this awful side effect. I know the bouts have got worse since they upped the dose at the weekend.

Not what you're looking for?
