I have bought Levothyroxine in Spain before. It was called Tiroxina and only cost about £2. Janet.

No, I understand it can be bought over the counter without a prescription, but this was about 8 years ago in Majorca. Janet.

But this is T4, Levothyroxine is T4 not T3

My apologies. Must have been having a brain fog moment. Don't think you can get T3 over the counter in Spain though. Sorry.

I think that Spanish for liothyronine is Liotironina. I do not know anything about its availability.

Have a look at this recent thread:

A Google search reveals that Triyotex is the Spanish name for Cynomel, also known as Liotironina, manufactured in Mexico.

These appear to be 75mcg capsules.

I returned last Thursday. Cytomel / Liothyronine was not on their list of supplied / manufactured or imported.
