When I was pregnant, my asthma attacks suddenly kicked up in winter - cold dry air is always bad for me but the pregnancy was making it worse. I started to take Symbicort, it helped a bit - my OBGyn was OK with that medication, you can mention it to your doctor. Not a miracle cure though.
The Albuterol inhaler (blue spray?) never worked for me and it will also get my heart racing very badly.
Levothyroxine is the active ingredient for both of them; the difference is the inactive ingredients (fillers/binders and dyes) they each contain. Levothyroxine is also the generic for all brands of T4 medications.
Inactive ingredients in Synthroid are: acacia, confectioner's sugar, D&C Red No. 27 & D&C Red No. 30, FD&C Blue No. 1, lactose, magnesium stearate, povidone, and talc.
“Nature-Throid is a hypoallergenic combination thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) hormone replacement drug made from Thyroid USP. Nature-Throid is formulated using hypoallergenic inactive ingredients and does not contain any artificial colors or flavors, corn, peanut, rice, gluten, soy, yeast, egg or fish/shellfish.”
I notice is doesn’t say what it DOES contain, just what it doesn’t.

From review of the active ingredients I can't imagine why there would be a difference in thyroid effect. If it were me I would question cutting your dosage in half and risking becoming hypo again, unless the doctor can provide a valid reason. I have switched from Armour to NatureThroid without noticing any effect.
What is your current daily dosage?
Generic pills do differ, however, in the inactive ingredients, such as color, flavoring, preservatives and the filler materials that hold the pill or tablet together. Although uncommon, some people may be allergic to one or more of these inactive ingredients.
Issues with Seizure Medications
For some people using certain medications, generics can be a problem. This is most often a problem with medications in which even a miniscule change in dose can be ineffective or cause side effects.
Aleve's first inactive ingredient is magnesium and magnesium blocks the absorption of synthroid. So why isn't alleve on the interaction list with Synthroid?
Generics all have their own names but from a chemical standpoint, the active ingredients are identical to the name brand. Where Junel and Blisovi differ is just in the inactive ingredients.
I have looked up all the medications available for hypothyroid and they all seem to contain the same inactive ingredients. Getting pretty scared at this point. Dr. says to take antihistamines before taking the synthroid, but hives are still there and I can still feel the reaction going on. Don't know how much longer I can continue this. Please help!
Some other companies which has same composition but other inactive ingredients and preservatives,they might take the color of inactive ingredients or color of natural or synthetic chemicals mixed: like Vytone or Ethex,Alcortin,Glades or Dynarex.
If you might have noticed on the label it says 'Paraben free',which is a potential ingredient if included in composition causes severe allergic reactions, which is a good thing.
Yes, Synthroid is the same as Levoxyl as being a brand thyroid medication. However, Levoxyl has less inactive ingredients than Synthroid, with less chance for adverse reactions. Active ingredients are the same. The active ingredient T4, is not known to cause adverse issues, however, the inactive ingredients in all the thyroid medications
(including Armour and Cytomel), are the actual culprits.
Armour is not a 100% natural. Nor a 100% cure-all for all our symptoms.
both are horrible
I have had breathing tests that shows my lung capacity is 65%. I just started to take Symbicort. Could the Symbicort be raising my blood pressure, or is it all in my head? When I take my BP a couple of hours after taking Symbicort its high.
My Meds are:
Crestor 40mg
Amlodine 5mg
Synthroid .250mcg
Lisinopril 40mg twice a day
Zolpidem 10mg
Metoprolol 50mg one & 1/2 pills twice a day
Symbicort 80/4.
Yes, I noticed that too with Tremadol because as soon as it wears off, my bladder burns horribly worse. Celexa does the same thing. I have always wondered if sodium laural(th) sulfate stuff and the inactive ingredients was flaring it up worse.
1) Take the package into the pharmacy and ask the pharmacist if they know
b) Contact the manufacturer of the medication (will be listed on the bottle/box) and ask them what the inactive ingredients/fillers, etc. are in the medication. Sometimes, these things are listed on the original packaging box, so if your pharmacy distributes the meds in their orginal box (rather than puttin gthem into a bottle), you might want to look at the box yourself and see if anything is lsted.
t actively say it but when I was trying to find some explanation for my problems, I found their latest package insert at it listed 2 additional inactive ingredients that were not in the formula change since 2002, and my current package insert still had the old 3 inactive ingredients. So I investigated thinking this was my problem. I finally got someone after months to tell me the real story.
I am a diabetic on oral meds. Some months ago I started taking Symbicort inhaler for asthma. Since then my blood sugar is soaring.
What can I do.
I have done a lot of research tonight, but the one thing I forgot is the cough syrup I was given: Dexamethazone*Guaifenesin. I have been taking it faithfully, 2 teaspoons every four hours (even throughout the night). I researching this I found that it can cause difficulty urinating and also shortness of breath which I have had this evening. I stopped taking the normal dosage at 6 p.m. and now, at 1:50 a.m., I went in and took only 1 teaspoon.

if i am allergic to sulfate, an inactive ingredient in crest toothpaste, should i use it? i have been using creast for a while, not realizing it contained sulfate. I am extremely tired all the time.
