I picked up my repeat prescription today for an underactive thyroid.
I did'nt realise until I had collected the tablets from the chemist and got home, that I had been prescribed 'levothyroxine'
They are usually called 'thyroxine'
I am now worried that I have been given the wrong tablets, maybe for an overactive thyroid.
Have read the leaflet, but it does'nt state what they are for, only that they are to control thyroid levels.
Just wondering if anyone knows, if they have changed the name, or if anyone else takes these, and what they are for.
TIA
