Question: are synthroid and eltroxin the same?
Answer: These brands are Eltroxin (GlaxoSmithKline), Synthroid (Abbott), Goldshield Levothyroxine, and Eutroxsig (Sigma). The Eltroxin and Goldshield Levothyroxine brands are fully subsidised by PHARMAC. a change in brand will require thyroid function monitoring, and in some cases dose adjustment.
