Hi, please does anyone have information on reliable T3 suppliers online? I have been on T3 for years, and now sadly looks as if it is going to be taken away from me due to cost.... many thanks

Reliable T3 suppliers online
Hi and welcome to the forum. As this is your first post, why don't you introduce yourself by telling us about your thyroid issues and any recent test results? Members are happier to share sources if they know you need t3 for medical reasons.
Tiggy2017,
I would write to your GP (cc your MP) and tell your GP that the CCG does not have the authority to tell GPs what not to prescribe and you believe your GP is in breach of GMS contract by withdrawing treatment you have been told you need. Say you have been well on Liothyronine and wish to continue taking it. Attach the BTA guidance for patients and GPs.
The BTA issued guidance that patients doing well on T3 should not have their prescriptions with-drawn. See FAQS for patients and GPs in british-thyroid-association...
CCGs do not have the authority to tell GPs what not to prescribe. Individual GPs, not CCGs, could be found in breach of the General Medical Services contract if they do not prescribe treatment patients have been told "they need".

The GPC has warned that GPs would be in breach of the GMS contract and could get into legal trouble by following the orders and refusing to prescribe patients treatments they have told them they need.

I would make an appointment to have a Consultation with your MP. It is important that we don't have T3 removed just due to cost. This was an earlier post that you might find helpful. We should have to fund a life-saving hormone when we have a clinical need.
Thank you so much Clutter and shaws for this advice, really helpful, I shall be using it!
