A member asked:
Please tell me what's the difference between unithroid, levoxyl, (thyroxine) and synthroid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only the name: Unithroid, Levoxyl, and Synthroid are all trade names for l-thyroxine (aka levothyroxine). The levothyroxine is the same in all the preps; dyes & inert fillers may vary.
