Hallo, does anyone know please, I'm trying to google and struggling - what size of tablets Mercury make? I've got 50mcgs and want to try to ask my GP to specify brand when I go up.
I have tried one of the links to the list of levo's in the UK but it comes back with error 404, page not available, am I using an old link
thank you for your help.

They supply 25, 50 and 100 microgram levothyroxine tablets. They might be packaged as Mercury Pharma Levothyroxine or Mercury Pharma Eltroxin - but the company is Advanz Pharma.
Everything you might want to know - or links to that information!

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.

Hallo, many thanks for this and for taking the time to reply, I appreciate it. On this reply your cut&pasted links come up as ordinary text like this: originalText so not the actual links? The link I used was a year old searching through posts, so may very well be out of date, I don't know how I'd find it again now, will have a look.
Yes - that happened transiently because I edited it - and that is a bug!
I fixed it. Try refreshing the page?
YES! thank you, on refresh the google one works for me. Can't get dropbox link to work but that may be me.
I did re-check it and the Dropbox one works for me - so I think you might be right. However, sometimes, the file gets downloaded but doesn't display anything! Therefore, do check in your download folder. 
But what matters is that you can access it.
Will do, but yes, I can see one, so that's great and thank you again. Have been given Mercury on latest scrip and some of the horrible side effects have decreased. In for more bloods this week so may be back for help on those! Thank you.

25mcg, 50mcg and 100mcg.
Advanz make Mercury Pharma Levothyroxine and they also make Eltroxin which is the exact same tablet so if MP is unavailable you could have the Eltroxin by Advanz.
Brilliant thank you for your reply, much appreciated.
I have that brand specified and have 25, 50 and some 100mcg.
I'm going to ask the GP to specify. One will, one won't. I seem to not be able to tolerate other brands.
I recently saw an older locum GP, who said his brother cannot tolerate a change in Levo brand and he didn’t think it was ‘all in my head’.
Lucky you! After some horrors I found one lovely local GP who is of course, leaving the practise at the end of the month. I'm gutted. It's definitely not in my head. I've done back and forth trials on different days with brands and the difference is shocking.
I was a wreck on Teva!
Reading thru these pages I see that a lot. So glad I found this forum and know to avoid it.
