MERCURY PHARMA LEVO, changes? dodgy batches?

Hi Everyone,

has anyone who takes Mercury Pharma Levo noticed any changes at all in symptoms or how you have been feeling in the last few months?

I have been on 150mcg of Mercury Pharma Levo for the last 4 years or so and i just wanted to try and establish if anyone else who takes MP Levo had noticed any differences recently, i posted a few days ago on new symptoms i am experiencing which may or may not have something to do with my thyroid or possibly even Mercury Pharma amongst other things, i'm just wondering if there might have been a change to the constituents without it necessarilly being common knowledge,.

The reason i mention this is because i used to take 150mcg Actavis Levo and was absolutely fine with it for years until Accord took Actavis over and although Accord claimed there had been no change whatsoever i reacted really negatively to the extent i had to change from using Actavis/Accord to Mercury Pharma, other people on here also mentioned they had noticed a change with how they were feeling when switching from Actavis to Accord.

I have been very stable and as reasonably well as one can be with thyroid issues up until a few weeks ago on Mercury Pharma so i am just wondering if possibly i have been given a dodgy batch or two by my pharmacist or there may possibly have been a change to the constituents, i just want to rule it out if at all possible as i am proceeding on a process of attempted elimination of what might be or is behind the recent issues i have developed.

Many thanks.

I urge everyone to put in Yellow Card reports if they have issues with any medicine. (If you are not in the UK, follow the procedures for wherever you are.)

These reports are our ONLY way of putting in ‘negative reviews’!

This is a general post which explains a bit more.

Yes - that is a good idea. But put a Yellow Card in anyway based on your personal perception. All they ask is that you report as you find! :-)
