Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 > In a message dated 6/4/01 6:43:52 AM Pacific Daylight Time, Dear , I also looked for the article this AM and it was gone from the site and I couldn't find any archives where it might have been. It was probably last Fridays news. Like a ninny, I didn't make a paper copy of the article. It was interesting and I'll check some other web sites and see if I can find it.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Marily, I have done the same thing, waited too long to print or send the article. LOL But I did find that great stuff on Acupuncuture, so you were really helpful in sending the site. How are you?? I hope better. I woke up tired and achey. My feet are acting up again. Darn!! It suppose to be warm here today 80-90 degrees. I have a list of stuff I need to get done, but just don't want to. LOL I will post you later. Know I'm thinking about you. hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 , I did find the article and basically it said that the makers of synthroid had applied to the FDA for synthroid to be recognised as a safe and effective drug; but the FDA refused as they said it is not the same formula as it used to be and that also the manufacturers put more levothyroxine in than is on the label, to increase shelf life. Therefore you are not getting the same dose always. That is the general gist. I go from synthroid to Eltroxin (European equivalent) and back, depending where I am, but I can't say I notice a lot of difference when I change, although doctors in USA throw up their hands in horror when I tell them this, but I can't stock up as it does have a limited shelf life. They also said there was no danger of Synthroid being withdrawn.
