Levothyroxine brand

[Quiltbee]

Hi All, I have been on Levothyroxine for 15 years now and things have been pretty ok with a bit of a bump when I had a parathyroid problem. This last month my pharmacy has changed the brand to Vencamil and I am feeling really tied and other symptoms. Has anyone had any experience with this brand?

I was on the Teva brand previously.

Thanks in advance

Many members find Vencamil much better than Teva

Request Thyroid and vitamin levels are tested

Bloods should be retested 6-8 weeks after each dose change or brand change in levothyroxine

For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3 tested

Also both TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested at least once to see if your hypothyroidism is autoimmune

Very important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 at least once year minimum

what vitamin supplements are you taking

Is your hypothyroidism autoimmune

How much levothyroxine are you taking
