Welcome to the forum jfpscptccp

Why has your liothyronine been withdrawn?

jfpscptccp in reply toRedApple

It isn't prescribed by the NHS - too expensive (£300 for 28)

If it was previously being prescribed for you and you were benefitting from it, it should not be withdrawn. Please see this info on the main Thyroid UK website thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/newspa...

jfpscptccp,

If members can advise where to source T3 without prescription they will send you a private message.

Most T3 is 25mcg so you might need to buy a pillcutter and take 3/4 of a tablet which is the nearest you'll get to 20mcg.

I'm happy to do that or take 4 days on 1 day off - can you give me a link to the most reliable source (and the best value!) thank you. jfp

jfpscptccp,

You need to take Liothyronine daily so buy a pillcutter from any highstreet pharmacy.

Thank you but I'm finding it very confusing as to where is the best place to get it and whether it is legit? Jfp

I would also appreciate a private message on where to source T3 from as it's looking like the NHS are cutting it altogether 😊
