I've been taking 75 mcg Levothyroxine for awhile now for Hypothyroidism.
I've been getting 30 pills every month, the most I can from a pharmacy.

Recently our prescription plan administrator notified me that I could get a
90 day supply, but only through mail order.

I decided to go this route because it's cheaper and easier
But my doctor advised me to get the same brand because they can be
different.

When I ordered the mail order pills I told them this and gave them the name
of the brand, Mylan.
They said it'd be no problem, that's what I'd get.

So today I receive the prescription in the mail and they're not Mylan!
They are from a different manufacturer, Lannett.

Does anyone here have any opinions on switching to a different brand?
I'm reluctant to do so because of what my doctor told me.

Michael
