Have you tried Tirosint? I had a thyroidectomy and am highly allergic to many of the fillers in medicines (as in “find the epipen now” allergies). It contains only 4 ingredients: T-4, gelatin, water & glycerin.
The doctor tried me on generics since that is what was paid for by my insurance. Only problem was I never had any idea which company’s generic I was going to get and what they might have used for fillers this time. Insurance still doesn’t pay for my Tirosint, but I was able to get a coupon from the company and I pay $25.00 a month. Expensive compared to the 87 cents for levothyroxine, but it beats the side effects.

“Have you tried Tirosint?”

I have never herd of it! Thank you so much for a new thought.

I’ll look into this for sure, and ask my skeptical endo. He’s refused Armour, BUT I have been on growth hormone which has helped tremendously.
