Private prescription T3

Hi, my private endo has given me a private prescription to trial T3 meds. Does anyone know if there's a significant price difference between pharmacies for this? Is it worth "shopping around"?

Dervla123,

If the prescription is for Liothyronine 20mcg it will be worth using your prescription to buy German Thybon 20mcg which will be considerably cheaper than the £258+ you will be charged for Mercury Pharma 28 x 20mcg.

Dervla123,

Not sure. Try but they may need to get it from one of the specialist importers in thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/treatm...

There is a link to Thybon in the link I posted above. Your pharmacy might use it or you can use your prescription to order it direct.
