Mercury Pharma NOT discontinued

[colliewobbles]

Hi all, just to let anyone know that MercuryPharma brand has NOT been discontinued, Concordia has taken over Amco. I had to source this myself because the chemist 'didn't' know' where to get it. They said it'd been discontinued! (again!)

I think Amco sold Mercury to Concordia having extracted huge profits on T3 sales.

Although my last batch of pills had none from Mercury for first time but two other brands.

From time to time, pharmacies do seem to have hiccups with their supplies of various brands of levothyroxine. This is more often than not a distributor problem rather than the product itself being discontinued.

If your usual pharmacist cannot fill your prescription with your preferred brand, then it's often worth taking your prescription to other pharmacies to see if another has the product in stock for you.
