Levoxyl Availability (Page 2)

Has Levoxyl been taken off the market again?? In November, 2016 I am being told by the pharmacy that I use (Walgreens) that Levoxyl has been taken off the market again because of quality problems, but I am not finding any information about such a recall on the internet.

My situation is the same to yours, but I alternate 175 and the 200 mcc every other day (infuriating because I have to pay for 2 copays for 15 tablets of each per month). Doc says it is the optimum dose for me. Here it is 2017 and Walgreens is telling me again there are supply issues. Levoxyl works so much better for me than levothyroxine and is more affordable than the Synthroid. It's terribly frustrating to have a drug that works and to find availability such a chronic issue.

I'm so glad you posted this about Walgreens and supply issues. I will check with them tomorrow. Levoxyl works best for me also. It is very frustrating that they keep having issues! This is a life-sustaining medication for me! I take it and Cytomel (which is almost $2.00/pill).

Update: My local pharmacy (Walgreens) is not experiencing a shortage. I hope your pharmacy gets what you need soon.

I did reach out to the Pfizer website and asked about it to which they replied that there were no known supply or production issues. As I was taking my script this morning I was thinking I hadn't heard back from Walgreens. I'm 10 days into my month and they haven't circled back to me to completely fill this month's script. I'm glad to hear there are no issues with the supplier, but grow increasingly frustrated with my pharmacy. Happy to hear your pharmacy better controls their inventory.

I've made friends with the Pharmacy Manager so I called her. I think I'm the only one on 200mcg of Levoxyl at that Walgreens. Just to be sure she went ahead and ordered more. Yours shouldn't have any issues getting them from their supplier. I called Pfizer when they recalled it last year. The nurse I spoke with was extremely nice and knowledgeable. If your pharmacy says they can't get it, have them call one of the Tennessee stores since we aren't having an issue.

You should try Unithroid brand! It’s only $3 a month and works just as good!
