Random Hives On Body. On IC Levothyroxine For Long Time. Any Ingredient Changes In Medicine Or Due To Pollen?
My question is ,
Has there been any ingredient change in the thyroid medication IC Levothyroxine 75 mcg tablet?
I have been taking this medication for 20 plus years. My reason for this question is I have some random hives.
I got these hives at the end of April after I picked up my thyroid medication. The pharmacist said he doubts it's caused by the medication because I have been taking them so long. He said Massachusetts pollen is very high. I told him I have been walking a lot and breathing in the pollen??? What do you think?
