Can I Take Synthroid While Suffering From Underactive Thyroid?

hi. I heard there was a Generic for Crestor, but I see that on here, they say it s not approved. True? Looking for a suggestion for a generic for Crestor. I do have an under active thyroid. Currently taking synthroid ,050mg. Left a message for my doctor, haven t heard back and my mail order called today to say that my 90 day supply of Crestor was $395. I told them NOT to refill. Any suggestions? OBV I know you can t prescribe, nor recommend, but just wondering about Generics and the thyroid...???? :) Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have underactive thyroid and you need external thyroid hormones supplements.

If you want to take generic drugs then you can take levothyroxine. It is prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
