5mcg T3 tablets available ?

[Daffers123]

Does anyone know if the above are available ? I believe Kings in the States used to be the only manufacturer. If they are still around how could I get some here

Thanks

Daffers, Your GP can prescribe 5mcg tablets and your pharmacy will source them. I've not seen 5mcg available without prescription.

Daffers123,

Pfizer bought King. King having previously bought Jones. Jones developed the Cytomel product.

Yes - Pfizer/King Cytomel is available in 5 microgram tablets.

So too is at least Perrigo (formerly Paddock) and Mylan. Not certain about Kaiser.

Pfizer and Perrigo are available without prescription but are very expensive being only a little less expensive than 25 microgram tablets of the same make. I only know of one source.
