Well your doctor will prescribe for you should need it, have you been tested for malfunction of your thyroid.?? a glucose fasting test needs to be done to prove you need it ...so why do you need a private doctor to prescribe it.

Not certain, but different health authorities may have differing GP allowances on their systems. My GP cannot prescribe T3 (Cheshire).

You don't need a glucose fasting test to prove thyroid malfunction, you need thyroid tests

pdhillon, email louise.warvill@thyroiduk.org.uk for a list of member recommended private GPs and endos.

You'll have to check with their offices whether they will prescribe T3.
