Brief Answer:
brands don't actually matter.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX hi ! welcome to HCM! I am Dr. Minal.
Eltroxin from XXXXXXX or Thyronorm from abbott, are just brands, both are good companies. I don't think brands actually matter.
let us review,
1. are u sure taking the medicine early morning, empty stomach.

2. are u sure not having tea or coffee or anything over the tab strictly for another 30 -40 minutes?

3. Are u sure not missing the tablet any day?

4. are u sure not putting on weight?

5. are u sure the tablet was not sun or moisture exposed?

if u can confirm all these , then recheck from some other lab.
if still high, increase the dose to 75mcg.
regards!
