Model Statement: “It sounds like your pharmacy has made some changes in how they’ve dispensed your Synthroid medication and have changed the name and shape of the medication. While pharmacies sometimes make medication changes from brand name to generic to save you money, you should be on the lookout for any changes to the name, shape, and color, as some medications need to be dispensed as written to achieve the best health outcomes. If you notice changes to your medication, ask your pharmacy about them before you leave the pharmacy, and check in with your primary care provider.” |
