There is no interaction of lucentis injection with eltroxin tablet.
There are different brand names available as substitute for the eltroxin.
Common brand names include Thyrax, Euthyrox, Levaxin, L-thyroxine, Eltroxin and Thyrax Duotab in Europe; Thyrox in South Asia; Eutirox, Tirosint, Levoxyl and Synthroid in North and South XXXXXXX

Hello
All the brand names which I mentioned earlier are equally effective.
You can use any of these products without any doubt and there won't be any problem.
