> I heard from someone who saw on the news they are taking synthroid off the market. Has anyone else heard that and know any more info? Does that include the generic form levoxyl (sp?) also?

I think the quality control in the manufacturing of Synthroid was called into question. Tests demonstrated that the amount of thyroxine contained in the preparation is not consistent from one pill to the next. Synthroid was never officially approved by the FDA. I guess it was grandfathered in or something.
