Two different brands of Levothyroxine- is this okay?

[Smartypants1]

Hi everyone

I’m sure I’ve seen something about this on here but now can’t find it. I’ve always been on Accord (currently 50mcg) but I’m moving up 75 and the pharmacy has sent Wockhardt 25mcg. So am I okay to mix brands?

Also, are Wockhardt generally well tolerated? I feel like I’ve done well on Accord and now feel wary of adding a different brand into the mix.

Thanks

yes generally wockhart are well tolerated

Accord only makes 50mcg and 100mcg

Wockhart only makes 25mcg

See how you get on

Hello, I’m on 75mcg three days a week. Accord for 50mcg and Wockhardt for 25mcg. I get on really well with these two. For two months I had MP for the 50mcg and my FT4 seemed to drop drastically for some reason?🤷‍♀️ So now I check my meds in the pharmacy to try to ensure I do get Accord (don’t really like Teva either!) good luck 🤞
