    Levothyroixine is the chemical name for the inactive thyroid hormone T4.
    Synthroid is the brand name of this chemical. Same stuff
    except for the manufacturing of generics vs brand name quality.
    As you may have noted, the FDA report does not give us a lot of confidence
    in the potency of even the brand name product.
    All are not expensive. The only change you should notice may be due to
    different fillers or dyes or potency of one brand vs another vs generics.
    Good luck!

    hello ,

    How’s the bb doing?
    my best source for my
    health instead of the rest.

    put myself back onto levothyroxine at 25mg
    its been 2 weeks now and i have dropped from
    the hypo high 9’s to 5 and change. Im still
    feeling yuk heres my question i have to cut
    my 25mg with a knife from a 50mg pill i dont
    think cutting this pill in half i get a smart
    dose this way the drug store told me just go
    on syntroid instead at a 25mg pill its the samething
    now would switching to syntroid from levothyroxine
    a major change or not.I see my endo in 2 weeks but
    by now i know that i have to be my own professional
    and look after myself fore i have no real respect
    for the rest accept you all who have been better
    than the rest.

    Thanks, steve

    Hi, Steve,

    Glad to see you back on the board — missed ya!

    As for allergy shots — I give myself an injection
    each week — no probs!

    You take care and let us hear from you.
