Drug Allergy Skin Rash (Page 3) (Top voted first)

I have been suffering from a drug allergy reaction for 5 months. This has been confirmed by skin biopsies. I have discontinued all my meds except Synthroid and I am still breaking out with skin rashes. I was switched to the dye free .5 tablet - I take 2 1/2 tablets . I want to discontinue the Synthroid for a few months to test if I am allergic to it. My doctor says no, do not discontinue and he will not switch me to a natural thyroid hormone. He does not want to believe that I can be allergic to this med. I called several other doctors and they said they do not prescribe natural thyroid hormone. What can I do? I need to know if I am allergic to this. Can I stop it for a while? What else can I take that is not Levothyroxine? Please help.

Hi,
I never heard of anyone else that had an allergy to the synthroid like I do. I figured it was the dye in the pills, and now I take either the .50 and alternate to get the correct dose or now there is a new drug Tirosint that is a colorless gel cap. I broke out in hives from my knees down.

The dosage is based upon weight, so as your weight changes a different size tablet is available proportionally. Example: 200lbs. = 125 mcg tablet.
