Withdrawal of T3

7 years ago•1 Reply

So I'm on holiday without enough T3 as there was a problem with chemists getting it and my GP calls to say NHS are banning liothyronine in the UK and patients will be put back onto Levothyroxine after being retitrated by an endocrinologist !

This is because bloods give inaccurate results of the medication and cost!

So come October no more!

Well I am remaining as I don't convert and Levo makes me ill!

Thanks to the amazing people on here grey goose etc telling me by my bloods I wasn't converting I'm asking for overseas suppliers of T3 and I know it an only be a PM

so thanks in advance X

Jayne63,

NHS England's consultation doesn't end until 21st October so your GP is jumping the gun to say it will be banned in October.
