Change of Levo brands

[lucindajethol]

Hi

I have had quite a few changes of brand when it comes to Levo. I was told it was the actual fillers that can effect some people more than others. Speaking from my own experience I remember them swapping one of my brands and when I had an extremely itchy rash on my arms I blamed that for ages on the change of brands, until a bright doctor saw it and told me it was down to Sun damage. I gardened alot in 3/4 sleeves exactly were I had the itchy rash. Problem solved and treated, no more rashes. Its not always the change of brands that cause the problem. You need to look at other things too before you make changes. I had insisted the chemist put me back on the original brand but that was not the cause in my case. Now I just except what they give me. Its all to do with cost within the NHS at the end of the day.

Glad you solved your problem. I was swapped to Teva brand and it turned out to be the fillers in the tablet which caused me problems, found out when I went back to my usual make, symptoms cleared up straight away. It just shows we are all different.

Hi

Some people are more sensitive than others though. I tried 3 brands before I settled on Accord. I've got a history of drug allergies though.

The NHS is charged exactly same price regardless of brand

Pharmacies however may get discount on certain brands
