I really do not know the name brand they would have available - but this what Levothroxin is (thyroxine or Levothyroxine (Thyroid hormone, or T4)

Ask at there medication facilities what the name of their brand is for what I listed - you should get your answer.

Levothroid, Levoxyl, Levo-T, Synthroid, and Unithroid are all name brand Levothyroxine drugs.

I may be missing a whole other group of drugs, but you may be able to find one of the above.

Best of luck.
