Any T3 in the Middle East?

I couldn't import T3 medication as customs didn't allow it! I heard there is a supplier from Iran and Turkey, but difficult to go there ... is there any other suppliers close to the Arabian gulf?

Sorry, I don't understand your question. You ordered T3 from somewhere and it was confiscated by Saudi Arabian customs. So you want to find another source? Isn't it very likely that that will get confiscated too? Or are you planning to visit the country concerned and take it in to the country personally? You would still have to go through customs even then.

Yes, I also don't understand, do you want to order or buy it somewhere and bring it with you? If they already confiscated your T3 they will do the same no matter from which country it is.

Ali1101,

Tiromel T3 is available over the counter in Turkish pharmacies.  I don't know whether T3 is prescription only or available over the counter in Iran.

Sorry, I wrote my post from work very quickly. 

I first ordered it from Greece and was confiscated by customs. Now, I will try to go personally buy it from another country close to Saudi. Usually customs between gulf countries is not that strict and can easily take my medication with me. So if I find any T3 in the region, I will go and buy it myself.
