Good morning, ma'am,

Eltroxin is not perfectly interchangeable with Synthroid

Will this be a new treatment, or do you usually take Synthroid?

Eltroxin is available in Canada.

There is no one that is better than the other, but if you start with one, it is recommended to stay with it. Blood tests and your symptoms will dictate the dose you take. No need to worry with Eltroxin vs. Synthroid :)
