Levothyroxine is a medicinal product with a narrow therapeutic margin. Therefore, prescribers should state in the prescription the legal exception corresponding to this group of drugs to prevent a change of brand at the pharmacy:
“Exception a) in Article 6(3) - Narrow therapeutic index or margin.”
A mere change of brand can alter patient hormone levels by itself.
