They’ve not done it with my Synthroid because I’ve been paying for it myself. I’m cleared to have TFL start paying their portion starting this month. We will have to fight to get them to cover the past 18 months. But they have changed my water pill on me, thankfully no difference. I too worry about any drugs made in third world countries, especially CHINA. Canada is ok, but that is as far as I’m willing to trust to imported meds.
I’m one of those ‘hard to treat’ patients because I react badly to so many different meds. My arthritis doc threw up his hands and said he could do anything for me. I have Osteo A in both hands, Osteo Porois in right hand, OA in 5 disc, and both feet from broken toes. To add insult to injury I have Fibromyalgia to boot. NEVER take Lyrica if you have arthritis, it attacks the joints and the pain is unbearable.
It also worries me that some doc don’t take the time to READ your med sheet they make you fill out, and then proceed to give you one of those drugs you react to. I have a sheet I print out and hand to them of what I take and what I react badly to. Saves time, hand pain, and you don’t forget something. If they don’t read it and call the drug by another name, you don’t know the difference and then you end up having a bad reaction that puts you out of commission for several days.
