Levo alternative Brands

[App1]

Pharmacists seem to have little/no say over which Brands they receive from the wholesalers (as chronicled on this site). I’m on Accord 50. What is the closest alternative to this Brand pls,. Tried Teva but that upset my stomach. My Script does specify Accord but I’d like to know the others too. Many thanks.

If you do not know of a specific issue (e.g lactose intolerance), I'm not sure that we really know why two different formulations are close, or far apart, in our reaction to them.

My medicines document does tell you what products exist and how to get detailed information.

helvella - Thyroid Hormone Medicines

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.

Righto. Have looked in at that, needs to be studied. I’m trying to not have a different brand each month as has happened so far. Thanks.

I cannot take Teva but Boots supply me with same brand every month she always opens the paper bag in front of me to make sure it is correct. It is also noted on my records.
