I need to buy Thyroxine

[Benjamin1]

Hi Everyone can you please advise me the best places to buy 25mg of Thyroxine. I currently take Activitis so would like to stick with the sam brand if possible. Any help is much appreciated 😊

Benjamin1 Why do you need to buy Levothyroxine?

You can't buy it in the UK although I think one of the recommended T3 suppliers can also supply Levo (maybe the one in Greece and I'm not sure of the dose) but it won't be Actavis as they don't do 25mcg.

Or you could go on holiday to Greece or Turkey (maybe) and buy it over the counter.

I started to self medicate one day 150mg and the next 175mg and i feel better in myself but the Dr has only put me on 150mg daily so i need to buy 25mg to carry on the dose that makes me feel better.

I was hoping i could buy the 25mg online

I would be inclined to get a pill cutter and divide them - you will run out a bit faster, but I bet the GP won't notice over the months.

[Benjamin1 in reply to HelenL1965]

Thats a good idea thanks

I tweak my own dose all the time - I cut down or increase depending on how I feel - my GP trusts me to do this and supports me with 3 monthly blood tests to keep a check.

I have to buy T4 as doctor has refused to prescribe anything as I have refused to drop my T3!

[Benjamin1 in reply to bobsmydog]

where do you buy yours from ?

We cannot post on the open forum of where to source thyroid hormones, so someone will send you a Private Message if they have info.

Mine isn't Actavis it's Thyronorm and the place I got it has now stopped stocking both T4 and T3 so will be on the hunt again myself soon, sorry!

I could def do with a holiday

Benjamin1,

Actavis don't make 25mcg doses. You can buy Levothyroxine online but I've only seen 100mcg tablets.
