Synthetic Synthroid
by JaneyD, Dec 08, 2008 10:55AM
I've been taking Synthroid for many years. Two months ago when I went to pick up my prescription the pharmacy asked, "is synthetic OK?" and I said "I guess so." Just this weekend I realized that that might be the cause of my increasing tiredness and geneal malaise -- is this possible?

Is it Synthroid, or is it Levothyroxine?
They are both synthetic. Synthroid is a brand name. Levothyroxine is the generic form of the same drug.
You should not accept a generic if your perscription is for Synthroid. The generic contains different inert ingredients, and the strength of the generic is not as uniform as the brand name.
