A member asked:
Is there a difference in synthoid medications?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I believe you mean synthroid which is the name brand thyroid replacement. The answer is that all thyroid replacements: synthroid, and its generic levothyroxines are medically equivalent as long as the doses are numerically the same. Although some patients may "feel" a difference between the brands by law they must be medically equivalent.
