Thank you in advance

Amandaji,

T3 to be found in the UK is strictly prescription only but most GPs's won't or can't prescribe T3.

Many endos are reluctant but you can email [e-mail] for a list of sympathetic endos/doctors that members have had positive experiences with.

People who self medicate find a regular overseas T3 supplier via member recommendation. Suppliers do temporarily run out of stock so it's sensible to order enough to last. Members will advise on dosing, etc.

Amandajl, the BTA recommendation is that Levothyroxine "is the preferred therapy" for hypothyroidism and that there is insufficient evidence to support the benefits of T4+T3 and further studies on the safety of T3 should be made.

An observational safety review into the use of T3 was published in 2015 endocrine-abstracts.org/ea/...
