Does anyone know if Wockhardt contains artificial dyes or colors?

Assuming you mean their levothyroxine tablets - no dyes/colours.

No UK thyroid hormone medicine has any dyes or colours.

My document has links to documentation about all UK and many non-UK products so you can check anything you want to.

I have created, and try to maintain, a document containing details of all thyroid hormone medicines in the UK and, in less detail, many others around the world.

Thank you so much! I live in the States but I'm experimenting with thyroid meds from the UK. Virtually all of our thyroid meds contain dyes.

That is usual in countries which have a large range of dosages.

Usually the 50 microgram dosage is without dye or colour. But, of course, if you need to avoid dyes and colours, that becomes the only dosage you can take. Which ends up with me wondering if it is worth having so many dosages in the first place!
