Ringing

[JackiePooh]

My recent levothyroxine refill came a different pharmacy and about two weeks later, I have developed nonstop ringing in my ears. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks

I get ringing in my ears when I feel under medicated. It happens at the same time as brain fog and feeling generally rubbish. It goes when I feel better.

Is it a different make? Or just from a different physical pharmacy?

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.

My doctor decided to switch from a mail-in to a home town pharmacy. I live in the USA.

Thanks - but is it the same product?

[JackiePooh in reply to helvella]

Same dosage but the pill is round and no longer oval

My document has details of at least most USA products from which you should be able to identify the actual makes.

In the UK we have an absolute right to receive the Patient Information Leaflet along with our medicines every time we get them. That document must identify the product and its full list of ingredients. Is that not the case in the USA?

Look at the bottle for manufacture or call the mail in pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist.
