7. Is l-thyroxine and levothyroxine the same thing?

How did it that end up being $480? Even at times when I didn't have insurance I don't think the price was ever more than $20/mo. Which is pretty bad considering there is way it costs anything near that to produce 30 pills.

I just did a search to see if l-thyroxine and levothyroxine are the same, and I found a bunch of other brand names for it. I thought Synthroid was the brand name and then they had generics. Now, I am guessing what's what you were talking about with new minor differences that bring up the prices, aye?
