Who makes levothyroxine?

What’s the main branded levothyroxine brand, and who makes it?

What if I’m looking for the generic—who makes generic levothyroxine?
Generic levothyroxine is produced by many manufacturers, so different pharmacies may dispense different makers for the same labeled strength and dosage. The manufacturer is usually listed on the package and/or the pharmacy label.
How can I tell which company made the specific pills I have?
Check the label for the manufacturer name (often listed as the “manufacturer,” “distributed by,” or “labeler” on the prescription bottle). If you tell me the exact brand name (or imprint/NDC number from your bottle), I can help identify the maker more precisely.
