Teva T4 Thyroxine

[Karen-Eleanor]

I’m now taking 10 mcg T3 (Viatris) twice daily with 75mcg T4 in the morning. I’m allergic to lactose so my options are limited.

I’ve been on current dose for 5 weeks now and feel much better following dose increase.

I have noticed a slightly raised resting heart beat 82/3 rather than 75/6) but realise that sometimes this takes a while to settle.

what are the symptoms that people notice with TEVA brand?

Bloods done yesterday so awaiting results.

It is difficult to summarise the fragments members have posted over the years with regard to Teva levothyroxine.

I think the most common issue has been stomach discomfort.

Hopefully Aristo will be available in 25, 50 and 75 micrograms tablets in the next few weeks.

Thank you for your promptly reply. I have a 50 mcg and a 25 mcg as I was given the option to take an and pm with my T3. I’m still thinking about this option. It also gives self medicating flexibility but I don’t tell the Endo this!!

Is Aristo lactose free?
