Synthroid is a brand-name form of levothyroxine, so the active hormone is the same, yet the tablet makeup, look, and cost can differ. If you’ve ever picked up a refill and noticed a new pill color, a different imprint, or a new manufacturer name on the label, you’re not alone. Thyroid medicine is one of
