T3

Going Drs soon to request t3 which I know he will say no.

Just want to suggest things to him.

Does anybody get private prescriptions off dr and use it elsewhere in Europe. If so how does your dr or pharmacist go about this. If this is declined I will obtain myself and ask him to monitor me.

Bindy2,

If your GP agrees to write a private prescription you can take it to your pharmacy and ask them to obtain 20mcg Liothyronine from Germany or Austria or 25mcg Liothyronine from France via one of the specialist importers in this link thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/treatm...

Alternatively, use the prescription via one of the online pharmacies in the link or use versandapo.de/en/0/7498960/...

Sorry for replying again so late. I now have a prescription for t3. So you know if any particular chemists in U.K would obtain this from elsewhere in Europe for you or would I be better sorting it myself. Also do you know of any particular brand which is better

It's private and she gave me two one for 20 and one for 25. Said just use which one you can. For t3 liothyronine. Is that a particular brand or is that the name for all brands. Sorry it all confuses me

Bindy2,

Liothyronine (T3) is the name of the medication. You can use the prescriptions in any UK pharmacy.

28 x 20mcg UK Liothyronine will cost £258+ Ask for German Thybon 20mcg which will be cheaper or use the 20mcg prescription to buy from versandapo.de/en/0/7498960/...

You can ask the pharmacy to obtain 25mcg Sanofi Cynomel from France or buy from one of the online pharmacies in thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/treatm...
