Levothyroxine compounded capsules

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone is being prescribed compounded Levothyroxine capsules without any fillers. I used to get mine from a company called BCM specials that used to supply to Boots the chemist but unortunately they no longer supply this medicine. The capsules only contained Levothyroxine sodium and a filler of Calcium Phosphate. I am currently trying out other medications but I am allergic to many generic brands so am looking to find a new company that might prescribe a similar product.

Thank you!

Have you tried new Levo made by Vencamil

Very well tolerated by many members

Vencamil is lactose free and mannitol free. originally only available as 100mcg only, but 25mcg, 50mcg and 75mcg tablets became available Sept 2024

Prior to March 2023 Vencamil was called Aristo

Vencamil often very well tolerated/best option for many people

Hi Slow Dragon,

Thank you for all of the information about Vencamil. It is good to know that many people are tolerating it. I have just started taking the oral solution but I am not sure if it is going to work out or not, but if I need an alternative I can have a look at this option. Thank you! :)
