I thought I read on the about.com message board that Forest doesn't

make Levothroid. It's made by some company that makes medication for

animals and this is their first people medication.

Ok, now I am convinced that you are crooning too much for a certain

someone ) and getting confused---about.com confirms that it's made

by Forest.

But now I wonder what company you are referring to that makes animal

meds.......

on the message board about it. I even posted the info here.
