Generic Synthroid is a cheaper version of Synthroid, a very effective and trusted thyroid medicine. Generic and brand name Synthroid have identical active ingredient Levothyroxine, and Levothyroxine will produce the same therapeutic effect as the brand name drug. Generic medications can usually be purchased for a fraction of the cost of their branded counterparts. Because generic medications are often much cheaper than their branded counterparts, many people choose buying generic medications online, and many insurance companies actually require that they be used. The combination of generic substitutions and reference pricing would give patients an incentive to choose the cheapest product, while helping them avoid unnecessary costs.

For infants, you may crush the tablet and place in a small amount of water, breast milk, or non-soy based infant formula.

While using Levothyroxine you will need to have regular blood tests to ensure that the medication is working correctly.
