A member asked:

Is there anything else you can take for thyroid besides synthroid (thyroxine) med?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: You need a brand name T4 replacement. Depending upon several factors there may be other brand name rx's on the market and covered by your insurance, but Levoxyl (thyroxine) just got taken off the market and won't be back for another year. Synthroid is however, an excellent product. Don't switch to generics, T3 or armour thyroid.

Are there any interactions or concerns regarding taking the amino acid L-Tyrosine and the thyroid med Synthroid? Drug interdiction sites dont have much on the two together as one is a drug and the other I guess isnt. Mixed chatter on the subject.
