What Causes Infections In The Knuckles While On Levothyroxine?
today I started to take Levothyroxine, 75 mcg, made by Sando as a generic equivalent to Synthroid. This evening I noticed that I have infections in the knuckles of my fingers. I have taken Levothyroxine, 75 mcg, made by MYLAN for many years without any such side effects. Could this be due to switching the manufacturer?

Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the infection in the knuckles is not related to intake of levothyroxine, it is a separate entity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
