Liothyronine (T3) Prescriptions 2007 - 2012 (England)
This evening I had reason to check on the amount of Liothyronine (T3) prescribed over the past few years. The rate of prescription of liothyronine is rising. At least according to the NHS' Prescription Cost Analysis (which happens to accord with my perception): 2007 2,871,700 2008 2,938,400 2009

How much T3/T4?
I am currently on 150mcg of
Eltroxin
a day, Please could someone tell me what dose of Thyroxin I should be on taking 15mcgs of T3 a day, and whether this dose of T3 will be adequate or may need increasing? Many thanks for your help in advance. Best wishes Kathy

Vitamin D and Endocrinologist - I'm speechless!
I have been struggling with autoimmune thyroiditis for 6 years and am currently on 150mcg a day of
Eltroxin
. I was feeling so unwell that, in the end, I went to see a private endocrinologist.

My original question was hair loss ... posted blood tests below as requested
Ok had the appointment with my GP this morning to say that I wasnt happy about lowering the dose of
Eltroxin
from 1000 mcg to 75 mcg. I have been to see him so many times in the last few months since he became my new GP 6 months ago he must dread reading my name on his screen.

Eltroxin???!!!!!
Sorry, I know there has been q&a on here recently about the withdrawal of 25mcg of
Eltroxin
but I didn't pay much attention -until today when my pharmacy couldn't get it. So, I have a box of Goldsheild
eltroxin
(exp date 2015) and a box of 25mcg of generic mercury pharma levo.

Getting the GP to listen/extra Eltroxin
Last year I came down to 150 mcg in the summer (I feel I need slightly less in the summer months but more in the winter) and my GP took the 25 mcg
Eltroxin
tablets off my prescription.

The Three Available Formulations of Levothyroxine in the UK
For example, Mercury Pharma products are packaged as Mercury Pharma
Eltroxin
, Mercury Pharma Levothyroxine and Forley Generic Levothyroxine. However, the contents of these three are all absolutely identical to each other.

Shortage of Eltroxin 25mcgs - getting desperate !!
Once again I cannot find a pharmacy to supply my
Eltroxin
25mcg - (now no problem with the 100s!!) has anyone any news on the shortage or know somewhere in Surrey that has them? I wrote a letter to my doctor stating I was unhappy with scoring 100s as they are not meant to be chopped up!!

I need a sympathetic consultant / doctor to compile a report for me
I have just had 18months off work due to the crippling symptoms associated with the illness and am now on 400mg of
Eltroxin

What does it mean when TSH and T3 are OK but T4 is high?
I am on 150mg of
Eltroxin
and have been for 6 years, and have Hashimoto's (although doctor said Graves). I feel unwell nearly all the time and am trying to find a way to help myself feel better. I have an appointment with the doctor later this week.

Why am I now having to split T4 doses
Have ask GP for a trial of liquid
Eltroxin
as the only other option left open to me is T3 only or to self medicate on Cytomel and have my GP monitor me (Cytomel has different fillers in than our own T3) which could possible be causing the problem.

still amazed!!
The gp who was doing prescriptions rang me to check which strength
Eltroxin
I wanted. When we had sorted that she asked me what Liothyronine was as she had never heard of it!! I was quite taken aback but said Levothyroxine is t4 and Liothyronine is t3.
