Can I buy thyroid medications online?

Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi my situation is I have no health insurance to see a doctor. I want to know if I can order my thyroid medicine off line. The medicine I take is Levothyroxin 150 mcg daily. Is this safe for me to do because I need my medicine? Thank you.

Dear Beverly: Yes you may order your thyroid medications through online pharmacy, provided you have your doctor's prescription, because any reputable online pharmacy will require a legitimate prescription. However it is always safe to get your thyroid hormone levels checked at regular intervals for optimum control of hormone levels and necessary dose adjustments.
