Are there currently differences between different versions of T4 (thyroxine). I know that there once were. As I recall (and it's been awhile) that was not because there were generics but because thyroxine and others predated the FDA approval process entirely. Then, about a decade ago because of the differences between versions they were forced to go back and get FDA approval. I would have thought that would have ended the problems. Did that not happen?
