I noticed the same strange odor. I returned 2 bottles Sandoz Lavothyroxin because the pills in the bottles smelled. Does anyone know why?

I too have a vile taste and smell that permeates my very being! I've been taking three different meds since May 2, 2018, Levothyroxine, Levoxyl, and Armour trying different ones to no avail. I have no taste ever except for this vile taste and smell. Does any one have an answer or experience as mine?

Hello, Joyce! How are you? What are the markings on them?

The excipients in tablets can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Can you please post back and clarify?

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, hair loss, and weight changes.
