Levothyroxine Gel Caps???

[malena65]

I had a necessary total thyroidectomy in Italy and am on levothyroxine gel caps (lactose free)… will I be able to get this prescription in Canada?

I am very sorry you had to have your thyroid gland removed.

It looks as if you will be able to source tirosent in Canada.

Even when prescribed Tirosint by a doctor, you may be given generic levothyroxine at the pharmacy. And it matters – nearly half of patients taking traditional thyroid medicines have conditions that can negatively affect how well their medicine might work.6 Only Tirosint is developed in a state-of-the-art dedicated facility in Switzerland, and made without excipients like gluten, dyes, and preservatives that are commonly found in traditional T4 tablets.7,14

You’ve already worked with your doctor to find the exact dosage of Tirosint that is right for you.

Now make sure you’re getting Tirosint as prescribed.

Thank you so much for the info.. might be in the States but if is there probably will make its way to Canada… my thyroid was chock full of nodules and had doubled in two years so did not waste any time and got it removed… very apparent on neck.. I was eurothyroid so it is unfortunate but whatever it takes… Thank you again.
