My Doctor prescribes synthroid to treat my hypothyroid. My insurance company has it changed to levothyroxine, because it covers genrics if available. I seem to do fine on levothyroxine.
My sister is being treated for hypothyroid also. Her husband is a pharmacist, and he says their is a difference between synthroid and levothyroxine, and insists that she stay on levothyroxine.
Is there that much difference between the two? I would think that if you are on one or the other nad stay with it, it shouldn't matter.
