Which is the best alternative for synthroid (thyroxine) for hypothryoidism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing: Synthroid (thyroxine) is a thyroid hormone and it comes in many brands but synthroid (thyroxine) is the best time tested medication. Other similar drugs are around but they are less reliable.
