Tirosint

[Danoute]

Has anyone any experience with medications that are in liquid form or liquitab form?!

I've read of Tirosint and also Eltoxin liquid.

There may be another topic on this but I don't seem to be able to navigate these boards too well ... Has anyone any success stories on these products.

Is this what you are talking about?

Cant help with the question on how well it works though as, unfortunately, like many other NHS doctors my GP refused to presrible this for me on cost issues.

I have been taking tirosint for 3 months in liquid mono dose form and it has changed my life as i never got on well with levothyroxine in tablets (i live in Italy and its called Eutirox tablets). Tirosint does not give me the worst of The side effects of Eutirox . With Eutirox I came down from 100 mcg to under 50mcg to relieve symptoms but if course I was feeling the tiredness coming through etc. Now on tirosint liquid I am back up to a 100 and although it's not 100% to me it's as near as it's ever going to be. ( I've been searching the alternatives for 15 years!!!). Tirosint is IBSA farmaceuticals not sure about availability in uk. I have already written about this in a previous post.

Unfortunately Tirosint is not licensed in the UK. So the only ways of getting it are "named patient basis" on prescription (and the best of luck achieving that - I think it would be very unlikely to get an NHS doctor to do so), or personal import.

What symptoms did you get from Levo that are relieved with Tirosint?!
