Abstract
Ten different levothyroxine products manufactured by six companies were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Although nine products met the United States Pharmacopeia requirements, one product was found to have only 47% of expected potency. Until these products become more uniform, we would not recommend interchangeability of levothyroxine preparations.
