What is brand name t4 replacement? is that a name brand of mmedication for low thyroid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: When providers say brand name they are often referring to synthroid. Some folks still debate the reliability of generic levothyroxine. Personal opinion: use the one that fits you best. If you change manufacturers check a level.
