A member asked:
I find a big difference since i changed from synthroid (thyroxine) to eltroxin... big weight gain, tired all the time etc.! dr says they both do the exact same?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reformulated: Eltroxin has been reformulated and may not have the same potency it did before. You should never change brands of thyroid replacement without getting your levels carefully checked 6 and 12 weeks after changing.
