problems with different sorts of Levothyroxine?

[Guest guest]

Ages ago I am sure I heard somebody say they find that they do better on

different brands of Levothyroxine in comparison to others.

I want to ask your experiences about this and if there are certain ones you

should avoid.

Basically I collected a prescription from a pharmacy and rather than it be in

strips, the tablets were in a brown bottle. Today I am in a lot of pain and can

it be only be due to this? It's as though they are not good quality enough or

something? You know I never thought I was somebody prone to adverse effects from

taking stuff.

I have had Lloyds pharmacy ones and I thought they were OK. Another one said MA

Holder Recipharm Ltd F1005F on the strip and as far as I know they are OK.

I really do wonder if these ones dispensed in the brown pot are of substandard

quality in some way and I should avoid that pharmacy from now on.

I was wondering if this sort of thing was individual or if there are common

types that seem to cause people problems? It's just that Friday I took from this

pot, over the weekend it was from a strip and this morning from the pot. Friday

was a bad day, as is today.

Hey if it's something as simple as this: chuck them out and don't go to that

pharmacy again, fair enough, sounds common-sense to me. Has anybody else had

this from Levothyroxine in a pot? Or indeed any others that I should be aware of

for that matter?

As you see I live in a large town with various pharmacies and I have gone to

different ones, depending on where was convenient on that given day.

Cheers Fiona.
