Supply of 100mcg Mercury Pharma??

[MissDemeanour191]

Hi, cannot get Mercury pharma 100mcg from pharmacies. I take 125mcg daily, and was told at 2 different pharmacies, that they can't currently get it. Boots told me it's because they're changing the box?? Didn't understand that! I had lots 25mcg mercury pharma so as I didn't want to take other brand they gave me, as knew wouldn't agree with me, have been taking five 25mcg tablets a day....to equal 125mcg dose. However, have been feeling bit sick and 'queasy' in mornings...'not right' can you not do this? And...does anyone know what's currently going on with Mercury pharmacy? Many Thanks.

Try small independent pharmacies, often more helpful

Also pharmacies often list Mercury Pharma under company name - Advanz

Eltroxin is identical tablets also by Advanz

Thanks, will try that. Don't think taking 5x25mcg is agreeing with me! I will go harass some pharmacies on Monday...joking! They love us levo lot.

I order my meds through the pharmacy 2 u app. I don’t request a specific brand but last week they sent my 100’s as Mercury pharma (and 25’s Teva)

It's ridiculous the way we get treated. I went round pharmacies myself looking for mercury pharma 100's. One, who I won't name, spoke to me as if i was stupid. Said it had nothing to do with the fillers in tablets, and that if I was in hospital, I'd have to take what they gave me!!...unbelievable. And yet, next pharmacy i tried, they were lovely. Said they could get them, but i would have to make them my nominated pharmacy. No problem! My original pharmacy said couldn't get them as Mercury pharmacy were 'changing the box' What?? So i'll just feel sick as a dog while these companies play around with us. I do understand that there's supply issues with lots of things and has been for last few years, but with something like medication, surely this shouldn't happen.
