Switching Generics with Levothyroxine
Current guidelines do not recommend switching between different levothyroxine products due to concerns of potential changes in TSH levels. However, getting the same levothyroxine product every time may be difficult for patients due to financial or stocking constraints. Join your host, Geoff Wall, and guest, Dr. Jamie Pitlick to discuss a recent study that examined the consequences of switching between levothyroxine products.
The GameChanger
Based on a recent study, switching between different levothyroxine products may not significantly or clinically impact TSH levels in patients.
