Hi .. with the threat of T3 not being available in the uk 😢.. does anyone know if you can buy it in Spain costa ?

I'm off to Spain on holiday next week and thought I'd give it a go in one of the pharmacies ?

T3 is not OTC in Spain - you'd need to holiday in Greece/Turkey to obtain it OTC.

Ah thank you. Even with a prescription ?

A lot of people report that T3 isn't available in Spain, even with a prescription.

That said, it's been a while since it was discussed here so I don't know if they've loosened up on that but I recall people in Spain being told that it's available in Portugal. And people who live in Spain mentioning that consultant endocrinologists don't prescribe it for people (tho' surely there must be some who do).

I'll be interested to see if someone can say that it is available with a prescription in Spain.

Im sure I read a thread a couple of days ago where someone posted they had bought T3 OTC at a ridiculously low price too, it was one of the costas but cant remember which. One of the admins commented, poss Clutter or Shaws?
