Levoril?
Subject: Levoril?
I'm auditing... the doctor clearly says, "Hypothyroidism. We will check thyroid-stimulating hormone at this visit and continue the patient on Levoril 50 mcg by mouth daily." But the MT typed Levoxyl. When I do a google search for Levoril, I can't find anything and it's not listed as a generic under Levoxyl. I'm confused. Anyone have any info on this?? 
Thanks!!!!

levothyroxine is the generic.
Levothroid® (levothyroxine sodium tablets, USP) is a synthetic product containing the hormone levothyroxine (T4). It is indicated for the treatment of hypothyroidism. Levothroid is available in 12 strengths ranging from 25 mcg through 300 mcg to allow for proper titration of thyroid function.1

an ESL or a mumbler and it might be morphine?
As an aside, for a laugh, I used to work for a neurologist who apparently had a patient pull a Rx paper off the top of his Rx pad when he wasn't looking. The doc got a call a few hours later from a pharmacy trying to verify the Rx for "mo feen".
