Is Levothyroxin The Same As Levothyroxine

Been taking a grayish, small, slender, oval shape Levothyroxin 125 mcg. Pill daily and recently, switched pharmacy. New pharmacy filled script for Levothyroxin with 125 mcg. Levothyroxine pills which are flat,round, and light tan ...though quite different in appearance, wondering if Levothyroxin and Levothyroxine are same medication? My thyroid has been removed for over 2 years, so getting the right thyroid medication is vital.

Yes, the pharmacy either just forgot the E on the end, or ran out of room to type it on the label.

Learn more Levothyroxine details here.

However, if you'd really like to put your mind at ease, you can post back with the markings on the new tablet and I can also use those to double check for you and confirm that it's the right medication.

Can you post back with these additional details?
