A member asked:
Should i take named brand thyroid medicine like synthroid (thyroxine) or generics? i heard name brand dosing is more consistent. your thoughts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid meds: Thyroid medication is one of the most common medications written for. I use generics unless there continues to be a wide variability in the labs (TSH) that are used to follow this condition. Cerainly if the patient desires a branded name i usually comply.
