HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem, if you are having hypothyroidism then the basic ingredient will remain the same only brand name would be changed otherwise chemical molecules remains as it is, in my opinion you jus keep continue the "Levothyroxine" hope this information helps you, have nice day.
