XL Pharmacy

Ordered and received a generic version of Synthroid (suffer from hypothyroidism) through a website in "George's Pharmacy" called XL Rx. Have looked through several publications as well as websites and the bottles and tablets do NOT match any description of what they are supposed to look like. Anyone else have any experience with this company?

They are highly regarded. Here's all the recommended pharmacies:

Will you post pics of the meds for review by our members?

Hey GS! Unfortunately, I am probably the last person on the planet without a digital camera, so am unable to post a pic for review. The meds are Eltroxin (100mcg T4), manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. The tabs are round, white, and have a capitol A on one side with a line going down the center of the opposite side. All available literature agrees that these should be small, yellow and uncoated. They are engraved with 100 on top of a dividing line on one side and are unmarked on the other side. In my personal experience with 100mcg Levothyroxine, regardless of the manufacturer, they are all yellow. I'm fairly sure that they are color coded according to dosing. Appreciate the feedback, GS.
 
Too, the package had been cut open and inspected by the FDA as denoted by a sticker on package that indicated "FORWARD TO ADDRESSEE". Do you think this would constitute a problem?
 
I would go to Kinkos and get the stuff scanned. Did the FDA open the bottle? What is the country of origin for the Meds? Did you check the GlaxoSmithKline site for that country? Now you have me curious.
 
Does it look anything like this?

I am trying to dig up more pictures for you.

The FDA did not open the bottles...that is, unless they have some method of doing so without breaking the safety seals. The country of origin is India, but the GSK website for that country does not have any pics or written descriptions of their Eltroxin. At this point I am just hesitant to use these meds without first verifying that they are legit. I'll see if I can borrow someones digital cam and post some pics. Your time is highly appreciated.
 
Mr. X, the bottles are of brown glass and although the tabs look to be about the right size (non-plats can only guesstimate using the thumbnails) the imprint is different. As usual, your efforts go above and beyond. Thank you.

Let me see if I can find a bottle picture. Also, I have a friend who uses, so I can ask, but it might take a few days to get a digital pic.
 
Another thing to do is to call XL on Monday and express your concern - post up what they say. Also, if you go Plat, you can expand the thousands of drug pics on the site.

Hmm, these look like they may be the same. Okay, well I just took some pics of the bottles and tabs. Could someone let me know how I can post them (computer skills I don't have)? Thanks again Mr. X...tried giving you all 4 of my Karmic Power, but was told that I had to spread it around before hooking you up again so...yeah.

Already sent them an email and, good or bad, will definitely be posting the results of our "conversations".

George Spellwin, gave some pointers on picture posting. If you don't have digital camera, you can use a regular camera, take a picture and have it developed. In the USA I think you can ask for a CD disk with pictures on it, or you can take the picture to kinkos and have it scanned.

When you have the picture in digital format. Click
"REPLY" like you have been doing, scroll down to Additional Options and click
"UPLOAD PICTURES AND FILES"
click BROWSE
and double click ont he picture you are uploading
click UPLOAD
then close window

SUBMIT post.

If you have problems doing it, you can PM me.
 
The brown bottles look identical to the pic I posted - from what I can see.

Yes, they do look identical. I'm just hoping that someone out there will be able to verify the tablets and I'll be good to go. Feeling more comfortable since GS chimed in to say that the sites in his "Pharmacy" are tried and true. You all offer up the kind of help that convinces us members to go platinum.

I am going to have my friend who is a user of the product look at this thread and your pictures, give me a day or so.

Thanks for supporting elitefitness :) When you are a platinum member, you will be amazed what 5,000,000++ posts with great information along with amazing reports and private forums can teach you.
 
The Eltroxin sold in Asian markets is a round white tab with "ELTROXIN GLAXO 100" imprint on one side. I would be suprised if they produced a tab for another market without a similar imprint.

Are you sure they sent brand name Eltroxin and not a generic version ?

Yes, they seem to be brand name Eltroxin. I posted some pics of the bottles and tabs in this thread and the tabs definitely do NOT have "ELTROXIN GLAXO 100" printed on them.

Well it's been 4 days since I emailed the company about my concerns and still no response. On any given day I wouldn't be sweating 4 days, but they promise to get back to you within 24 hours, so....yeah. Just a heads up for any bros that may be considering this particular website for future orders. :coffee:
 
Ive used XL Pharmacy once...and they did take a while to respond to emails but i got everyting ok and what i got matched pics online

That's good to hear, bro. As of yet, I am still unable to match the tabs they sent with any pics online or otherwise...fingers are crossed though.
 
UPDATE!! Well it's been 2 weeks since I emailed the company about my concerns and still no response. I'm not going to go out on a limb and say something about this company that may get me in trouble with the mods or GS, but somethings just not right. They sure as shit didn't take their time about charging this to my credit card, you know? :rolleyes:
 
I do know many pharmacies produce drugs in different countries, and that they may appear different depending on where they were produced. Does the box say where the drug was produced?

The label says that it was made in India. Someone posted that this medication made in Asia should say "ELTROXIN GLAXO 100".
