Not UK products. There are some non-UK products such as described here:

Your doctor can prescribe them - but may be unwilling or simply not know how to. Can be worth speaking to pharmacist so the doctor puts the correct thing on the prescription.

Marti88,

You were terribly overmedicated in June to have FT4 40.5 and FT3 10.2. Were you advised to reduce dose?

If previous thyroid levels on the same dose were in range it is possible that you had an autoimmune (Hashimoto's) attack on the thyroid which may have caused thyroid levels to soar. When will you collect your August results?
