For Underactive Thyroid "This drug is making me feel unwell with a lot of uncertainty. I have trouble breathing, hoarseness, tired aches in my legs and back, and difficulty swallowing, not to mention the effect it is having on my mental health. I consider myself a strong person mentally and physically. I have only been taking it for a month, as my pharmacist informed me I can no longer get the levothyroxine anymore, that I have been on for 16 years."

For Underactive Thyroid "I have been diagnosed with underactive thyroid/hypothyroidism. I was earlier prescribed levothyroxine, and the shops available here had the one in small plastic bottles. Dedicatedly, I took the medication, yet after testing again, there was no positive result. It didn't suit me. My skin was still very dry, my elbow and heels very rough, thick, calloused and cracking, very dry and rough, brittle hair, gaining weight nonstop. In September 2025, I went to another doctor for another reason, who took my thyroid test again. He prescribed me Eltroxin 25 mg, the one we get in a glass bottle. Yet again, I took it dedicatedly, as suggested by the doctor. This time I noticed there was a positive result-my hair felt better-no frizz, my elbow was softer, my heels aren't cracking anymore. This medicine has been quite suitable for me."
