Is Accord less well tolerated than Almus?

[origami]

Hi - I used Activis Levothyroxine for years until it was withdrawn. I get my prescriptions from Boots - they supplied Almus brand when Activis withdrawn and I have been OK on that. But they have started to supply Accord. I haven't started on new prescription yet. Does Accord have different fillers to Almus? I am very sensitive to changes in formulation. I might be better trying to find a local chemist who still does Almus - unless that has been withdrawn now.

Almus and Accord are exactly the same, as Accord make Almus. My local Superdrug stock Almus. I've always taken Accord as a named brand but a recent change of pharmacy means I'm now taking Almus and I've noticed no difference.

You might find my medicines documents helpful - they show where makes are the same, and a very brief indication of brand history, where known and appropriate.
