Hi has anyone used euthyrox ? Wondered what it was like

[Barrister]

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.

Oh ok I can’t take thyroxine I’m on liothyronine t3 that’s what euthyrox is hav I read message wrong ?

[EbonyEvans in reply to Shazzy2]

Euthyrox is T4 / Levothyroxine. Not Liothyronine T3

[Shazzy2 in reply to EbonyEvans]

Omg u r right they told my friend in hospital pharmacy they were t3 liothyronine great got 7 boxes I can’t use dont work for me

[EbonyEvans in reply to Shazzy2]

7 boxes of Levothyroxine or Liothyronine?

Surely they should fix that error if the former.

[Shazzy2 in reply to EbonyEvans]

I hope she can get it changed as no good to me

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