Levothiyroxine brand choice

[bajmon]

Hi all,What is your preferred levo brand? I've been taking Wockhardt and I seem to get on with it the best but this one is a difficult one to get by any of the pharmacy. I have to battle with the each time to reorder it for this brand. Last time I agreed to Accord was in June when they had it ready a day before my big trip and I had no choice but to take it. I spend my entire 3 weeks of very expensive holidays with a huge migraine! I can't get on with this brand at all.

Which one do you think would be a good equivalent to Wockhardt?

Best to look at the fillers and binders in the different types of Levo and compare. I don't have an issue with accord, mercury pharma but can't tolerate Teva.

Have you asked your GP to stipulate Wockhardt brand on your prescription? I’ve changed pharmacies so often because they get them for a while then say they can’t get Wockhardt any more. This is total nonsense. I don’t know whether Wockhardt cost more but they are the only brand I can tolerate.
