Pharmacy sent two different brands

[seveneleven]

Got my first Levo prescription last week and asked the pharmacy specifically for no Teva because I didn't fancy taking chances with the mannitol (bad gut and bladder). They had Wockhardt, so I asked for that as seems generally OK for most. The guy said he'd give me a combination of 50 and 25 to make up the 75mcg prescribed amount, but they've sent Wockhardt 25s and Mercury 50s, so I'll have to combine different brands. Is that going to be an issue? Will likely go up to 100 in two months which will give more options, but don't want to create problems in the meantime unecessarily!

It's quite usual - and can be difficult to avoid.

If you tolerate both, then likely no issue.

But if you don't tolerate one, or both, or if in future you have an issue, it can be difficult deciding where the problem lies.

I currently take Aristo and Wockhardt to get 125.

That's reassuring...thanks!

I can’t take TEVA and have managed fine on same combination.
