Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Tirosint different from other levothyroxine products?
Tirosint is a liquid gelcap containing only levothyroxine, glycerin, gelatin, and water — virtually no inactive ingredients. This makes it suitable for patients with celiac disease, food allergies, or sensitivities to tablet fillers.
Who should consider Tirosint over generic levothyroxine?
Patients with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, lactose intolerance, or those who have had thyroid hormone absorption problems with standard tablets may benefit from Tirosint's minimal-excipient formulation.
Does Tirosint improve absorption compared to tablet levothyroxine?
Studies show Tirosint may have slightly superior absorption — particularly in patients who take coffee, calcium, or certain medications close to their levothyroxine dose. The clinical significance varies by individual.
Is Tirosint available as a generic?
Not as of 2025. Tirosint remains brand-only. Generic levothyroxine tablets achieve comparable TSH control for most patients at $8–$12/month versus $70–$90 for Tirosint.
Can Script Unlock pharmacies supply Tirosint?
