I have just seen an endo and she is prescribing me T3 but warned me that within the next three months even she will not be able to do this on the NHS. Said that it could then cost £200 per month!!! Where do you source your supply and would you be so kind as to share a link. Many thanks

Canvasbutterfly,

NHS is considering culling a number of 'low value drugs and items' which can be bought over the counter. Not sure where that leaves those of us with Liothyronine prescriptions who don't do well on Levothyroxine. NHSCC tweeted in reply to a member that it isn't going to be a blanket ban but I've yet to see anything which says what exceptions will be made.

Perhaps you would consider complaining to CMA about Concordia's price gouging which has made Liothyronine unaffordable to the NHS.

Information on where to source UK prescription meds without prescription can only be shared via private messages so I am closing this thread to replies.
