Verifying the Authenticity of Your Levothyroxine Prescription

Always check your prescription label against your doctor’s instructions. Discrepancies? Contact your pharmacy immediately.

    Inspect the packaging: Look for any signs of tampering, like broken seals or unusual markings. Verify the medication details: Ensure the name, dosage (125mcg), and quantity match your prescription. Check the expiry date: Don’t use expired medication. Dispose of it properly. Note the manufacturer’s information: Compare this to information provided by your doctor or pharmacist.

Use a reputable online pharmacy; check their licensing and accreditation information. Look for customer reviews and testimonials.

Confirm the pharmacy’s license number with your state’s board of pharmacy. Verify their contact information; a legitimate pharmacy will have easily accessible details. Review online reviews on independent platforms, avoiding those directly on the pharmacy’s website. Check for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption, indicated by “https” in the URL.

If you have concerns about your medication, contact your doctor or pharmacist directly. They can provide expert advice and guidance on verifying authenticity.
