Three month supply of T3 costs over £1200. I'm hearing that there are German pharmacies that supply it for £30,amazingly. Can anyone help guide me to these cheaper pharmacy's? Google is not turning up any options.

The NHS is the second biggest employer in the world, they should have a procurement dept. That every drug manufacturer fears, not be colluding with ridiculous price hikes by unscrupulous manufacturers or suppliers! I hope you can find what you need. Make your views known to Healthwatch England.

Drug companies can hold a monopoly if they have a patent for a drug but that doesn't prevent NHS from procuring from Europe. Or another company developing a similar patented product in the UK. I think I read the MHRA have approved a patent for another company?? but no guarantee it will be cheaper.

It's scandalous in the UK. In France 100 tabs cost under £10, and in Germany around £25. The monopoly that Concordia International has manufacturing t3 is a huge problem. I'll PM you where I buy from. Cost me £113 for 600 tablets, including shipping. Good luck. :-)

Bteed1,

If you prescription is for 20mcg Liothyronine you should be able to use it to buy Thybon 20mcg via versandapo.de/en/0/7498960/...

Not what you're looking for?
