Different brands of levo

[giggy63]

Was wondering if the 2 brands of levo i take is ok. One is mercury pharma ( self sourced) and the other is accord ( from GP )? Do they work ok together?. Many thanks...

The problem is not taking makes A and B. They should be fine together.

But if you have a problem, is it A? Or B? Or both?

You could absorb one better than the other. Or have a sensitivity to one or more excipients in either or both of them. Or one might have lower potency than the other.

Hi Giggy, can I ask why you self source one of the brands if you get levo from a GP ?
