I don't know if it's true but I found this message on online mexico pharmacies who once sold cynomel( I do not know if I'm allowed to say the name here) ; " You will see CYTOMEL listed on our webpages on May 14, 2016 ",

It can be true?

It's available in France and Greece so I don't see why not!

Cytomel and cynomel are not the same product. And cytomel (I think) is a name used by more than one pharmaceutical company. What is being sold in France and Greece has nothing to do with the Mexican product which hasn't been available for ages.

Mr understanding is that they are both T3 so they are the same? What is known as Cytomel in one country is Cytomel in another. I shall be interested in detail I'd th eery aren't, since everything I've read indicated otherwise!

Yes, both products are T3. But they aren't all made by the same company or in the same factory. And for some people this makes all the difference. They want the Mexican T3 and nothing else. For everyone's sake, I do hope that the product is still the same after this long gap. I've read rumours that the factory had to be re-built for some reason. If it is a new factory I will be surprised if it still suits everyone. Something is bound to have changed.

Ah. That I understand.  Thanks for the clarification.

I should also have added that I'll believe the Mexican T3 is really back when I see people on this forum saying they've been able to buy it and it really is the same stuff that it used to be.

The rumour mill has been working overtime ever since it first disappeared. And lots of people have bought "Mexican T3" only to discover they've been sent Turkish Tiromel or some other T3 product.

I think one rumour was that the factory burnt down. But no idea how true that is!

I read that rumour too, greygoose. I also read there was Mexican drug gang involvement. I'm sure I read that American Pharma companies had something to do with it as well because the Mexican T3 was taking away too much business from them so the business had to be destroyed.

I'm sure we can combine all those theories together to make one hell of a story!

Remember all those low-budget westerns, with Mexican bandits, with long droopy mustaches and sombraros, riding into villages with torches and setting everything alight... What a colourful world we hypos live in! The mind boggles! lol

The Mexican manufacturer is a subsidiary of a large Canadian company. So yet another twist.

It's Cynomel in France, but not made by the same company as the Mexican Cynomel and, in my opinion, is stronger, even though they are both T3.

in reply to greygoose

I think the cytomel it is T3 generic(original manufatured by pfizer-usa) and cynomel it is mexican T3( I read good reviews about it but not generic).

More complicated than that.

Cytomel was the first USA liothyronine product. Now the brand has been bought by Pfizer.

In other countries, Cytomel could be used as a brand name by another company (if not appropriately registered to Pfizer) and is also the nearly-universal way that internet-vendors describe their products. One of the reasons being that so many patients search for "Cytomel" rather than, say, "liothyronine".

Cynomel is a brand name used by both Grossman in Mexico and Sanofi in France. No reason to think this is in any way wrong - just confusing.

Brand names ownership can be very confusing with, sometimes, two products with the same brand name available legally in one country. (This happened with Eltroxin levothyroxine in New Zealand for a short period.)

Well I'm unsure where unipharma t3 fits into this but that's what I'm going for if my ccg block prescription!

I think that's Greece, isn't it?

In my opinion the best lio-T3 which I tried is Thylexan by Adinovoc(and I'm still on it).

I have not tried yet unipharma t3 and the defunct mexico cynomel.

greygoose in reply to adin

Ah, I've never tried that one. :)

It's a bit expensive but I found that is effective than others I tried (not too many), or maybe it's all just in my head :)). Even on a low dose(6,25) I noticed that my puffy face began gradually thin.
