advice if possible please

I cannot have TEVA brand Levothyroxine due to adverse affects. Does anyone know if that will be the case for TEVA brand citalopram (anti depressant)? Should I avoid TEVA brand for that too?

The reason Teva Levo tablets are an issue for some is thought to be the mannitol they contain. It's nothing to do with the brand so you should be fine with other Teva medicines.

Jaydee1507 The reason I avoid Teva is because of the acacia powder filler.

I'm sure there are others intolerant of acacia but by far the majority of people who don't tolerate Teva Levo is due to mannitol.
