“can I use generic levothyroxine after thyroid cancer”
by thycarant
Yes.
Yes you can, and NO, the manufacturer will not be different every time. And NO, the dose does not vary, and NO, brand names do not have better ‘stability’.
…and YES, ‘generic’ levothyroxine DOES have to be ACCURATE in dosing. 150 mcg of unbranded is the same as 150 mcg of branded.
Don’t let the big, bad, brand name fool you with their slick marketing campaign. Realize they want their slice of the #2 highest selling medication in the U.S.!*
Why pay more for the SAME thing!
