Synthroid contains levothyroxine sodium, a substance identical to the thyroid gland hormone. It is used either alone or in combination with diet pills to treat primary (thyroidal), secondary (pituitary), tertiary (hypothalamic) hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, and obesity.
The dose is be administered individually. Follow all recommendations of your doctor, do not exceed the recommended dose. Take it as a single daily dose 0.5-1.0 hour before breakfast with a full glass of water. Intake of Levothroid and the medications known to interfere with its absorption should be separated by at least four hours. Do not stop treatment without permission of your doctor even if you do not feel immediate effect. It may take several weeks till the medication starts to act. Yo may need Levothroid till the end of your life to replace the thyroid hormone deficit.

They are the same. I have a co-worker though, who swears that Synthroid is the only thing that works for her (psychosomatic, thinking that can make your body react differently). In my family the generic works just fine, and by the way, they are usually cheaper so that helps our pocketbooks too!
