between various available products. Dissolution of a drug is a crucialstep in its oral absorption and bioavailability. The dissolution of T4 fromthree commercial solid oral dosage forms: Synthroid® (SYN), genericlevothyroxine sodium by Sandoz Inc. (GEN) and Tirosint® (TIR) wasstudied using a sensitive ICP-MS assay. All the three products showedvariable and pH-dependent dissolution behaviors. The absence of surfactant from the dissolution media decreased the percent T4dissolved for all the three products by 26–95% (at 30 min). SYNdissolution showed the most pH dependency, whereas GEN and TIRshowed the fastest and highest dissolution, respectively. TIR was themost consistent one, and was minimally affected by pH and/or by thepresence of surfactant. Furthermore, dissolution of T4 decreasedconsiderably with increase in the pH, which suggests a possiblephysical interaction in patients concurrently on T4 and gastric pHaltering drugs, such as proton pump inhibitors. Variable dissolution of T4 products can, therefore, impact the oral absorption andbioavailability of T4 and may result in bioequivalence problemsbetween various available products.

Escalante,Noura Arem, Ridha Arem, Assessment of interchangeability of twobrands of levothyroxine preparations with a third-generation TSHassay, The American Journal of Medicine, Volume 98, Issue 4, April1995, Pages 374-378, ISSN 0002-9343,10.1016/S0002-9343(99)80316-7. Abstract: purpose To evaluate, in aprospective fashion, the clinical interchangeability between two brandsof levothyroxine, Synthroid (Boots Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Lincolnshire,Illinois) and Levoxine (Daniels Pharmaceuticals, Inc., St. Petersburg,Florida), by using clinical scores of hyperthyroidism andhypothyroidism, free thyroxine index (FTI), sensitivethyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and thyrotropin-releasing hormone(TRH) stimulation testing. patients and methods Twenty-three of the 31patients with long-standing primary hypothyroidism (6 men, 25women; age range 30 to 71 years, mean 47.2 ± 2.2 SEM) wereswitched from Synthroid to Levoxine (group 1) and the remainingpatients from Levoxine to Synthroid (group 2). After switching, each

patient continued to receive the same dosage as previously. Clinicalscores of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism (Billewicz and Crooksscoring systems, respectively), basal FTI, and TRH stimulation testwere obtained before and 4 months after the switching. Comparison of the variables before and after switching was performed separately ineach subgroup and in the entire group. results There was nostatistically significant difference in the hypothyroid clinical scores(−40.1 ± 1.2 versus -39.7 ± 1.2), the hyperthyroid clinical scores(-19.6 ± 0.9 versus -19.2 ± 1.0), FTI (9.6 ± 0.3 versus 9.6 ± 0.3), basal TSH levels (1.4 ± 0.2 versus 1.4 ± 0.2 mlU/L). or the magnitude of TSHresponse to TRH (mean delta TSH 9.4 ±1.5 versus 9.2 ±1.4 mlU/L),whether the patients were receiving Synthroid or Levoxine. conclusionsSwitching did not result in substantial clinical or laboratory changes inany individual patient. We conclude that the two brands of levothyroxine are clinically interchangeable. C.L. Chen, M.E. McNulty,P.K. McNulty, A.C. Asbury, Serum levels of thyroxine andtriiodothyronine in mature horses following oral administration of synthetic thyroxine (Synthroid®), Journal of Equine Veterinary Science,Volume 4, Issue 1, 1984, Pages 5-6, ISSN 0737-0806,10.1016/S0737-0806(84)80092-1. Abstract: Summary Serum thyroxine(T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations were assayed by amodified radioimmunoassay procedure in a group of five maturehorses after oral administration of 10 mgof L-thyroxine (Synthroid®). Two horses received syrup vehicle as controls. Oral administration of 10 mg of synthroid increased serum levels of T3 in 30 minutes andreached highest concentration in one hour. T3 level began to decreasetwo hours following medication. On the other hand, T4 levels reachedthe peak at two hour post-medication and were maintained for 24hours. Theseresults suggest that 10 mg L-thyroxine per adult horse(approx. 500 kg) of 20 μg/kg can increase serum levels of T4 and T3and the T4 levels remain elevated for 24 hours. John W.
