Because levothyroxine is a hormone which is always present in the blood, it isn't possible to accurately study the bio-equivalence of different brands. This is only possible with drugs. Differences between the various brands of levothyroxine are probably small, but may be relevent for some patients. Taking the dose on an empty stomach is probably more important than sticking to the same brand.
