Levoxyl is a thyroid medication that is no longer made. I was on it for years. The maker stopped making this drug.. I wrote the company along with many others asking them to not discontinue this drug. It worked very well for me. It took a while to find something that worked for me. name brand synthyroid is the only thing that has kept me in check.
