Teva brand T3

Please could you advise if the Teva brand of Lio has the mannitol filler. I have just changed my Levo brand from Teva to Aristo after advice on this site due to wanting to remain lactose free but without mannitol

I have just been prescribed Lio 20mcg to cut into 5mcg doses. Many thanks in anticipation of your excellent advice as always 😁

The name Teva has got a very bad press due to the mannitol which is only contained in it's Levothyroxine tablet product. It does not use mannitol in either its liquid Levo or Liothyronine/T3 products.

Aren't the ingredients listed in the patient information leaflet that should be in the box?
