25mcg brands of levo

[giggy63]

Could someone tell me what brands do 25mcg? I am taking mercury pharma 100mcg but need to add a 25mcg to it. The tabs a too small to cut into quarters. I k now its not good to mix some types together

If you want to be sure to stay with the same brand, you could ask for Mercury Pharma 50s to be prescribed and split them in half.

Currently, Teva (including Hillcross), Advanz/Mercury Pharma and Wockhardt.

In a few months, probably August, we expect Aristo Vencamil will also be available in 25 microgram tablets.

There are no "must not take A if you are taking B" issues. See my blog on the subject:

A discussion about mixing (and switching) formulations of levothyroxine.

And my documents on what is available.

helvella's medicines documents (UK and Rest of the World) can be found here:

helvella - Thyroid Hormone Medicines

helvella has created, and tries to maintain, documents containing details of all thyroid hormone medicines in the UK and, in less detail, many others around the world. There is now a specific world desiccated thyroid document.

I highly recommend viewing on a computer screen, or a decent sized tablet, rather than a phone. Even I find it less than satisfactory trying to view them on my phone.

helvella - Thyroid Hormone Medicines - UK

The UK document contains up-to-date versions of the Summary Matrixes for levothyroxine tablets, oral solutions and also liothyronine available in the UK. Includes descriptions of tablet markings which allow identification. Latest updates include all declared ingredients for all UK products and links to Patient Information Leaflets, etc.
