I used it whilst I was living in Saudi Arabia. It was fine, just wasn't for me as I wasn't converting.

Hi.

I used Euthyrox. 150 per day for 18 months. Was buying instead of taking free UK prescription thyroxine. My thinking was if it’s manufactured by Merck it should be one of the best out there and also was not happy that I was being given one months supply at a time in the UK even though I offered to pay for it to get more

Unfortunately it seems I’m a bit of a non starter on thyroxine and have since gone over to NDT.

Euthyrox is T4 / Levothyroxine. Not Liothyronine T3

7 boxes of Levothyroxine or Liothyronine?

Surely they should fix that error if the former.

European Merck? The company which was behind the levothyroxine issues in France?
