Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your query.

Eltroxin contains Levothyroxine Sodium. Hence, a particular dose of Levothyroxine Sodium, irrespective of the color/size of the tablet, Brand name or the company producing it, will have EXACTLY the same effect.

So, you need not worry, but go ahead with Levothyroxine Sodium (50microgram) tablets.

Take care
