Yes, Levothroid is generally still available, but its availability can vary depending on your location and pharmacy. Manufacturer shortages do occur occasionally.
To ensure access, contact your doctor. They can discuss alternative thyroid medications if needed, like Synthroid or Unithroid, which contain the same active ingredient, levothyroxine.
If you experience difficulties finding Levothroid at your usual pharmacy, try these steps:
Check with other local pharmacies. Supply can vary between locations. Ask your doctor to contact wholesalers to locate supplies. Inquire about ordering Levothroid through a mail-order pharmacy.
Remember, consistent medication is vital for managing hypothyroidism. Don’t switch medications without your doctor’s guidance.
