Teva T3

I’ve just got Liothyronine made by Teva.

In the leaflet it says it is fast acting and long lasting!!! Really??

I didn't get on well with Teva. Seemed to be weaker. At the same time I started to have small cysts / spots in my hairline. Might not have been related..but Teva not for me. Have you an alternative?

It is quick-acting and it's action lasts between one to three days. So not very long-lasting. I think they've mixed up lio with levo.

wont Ever use Teva brand again. My Pharmacy switched me over to this brand ?! I didnt give it any thought until 2mths in I felt terrible. For some reason This brand did not work for me , the symptoms were all of which I had before being diagnosed. (Hypo)

I also hear of others who have had similar experiences on Teva. I switched back to my original brand and I feel brand new ,,, so Now i know it wasn’t all in my head !!!

I have yellow carded this brand. Please do if also feel the same.

My question was about Teva T3.

I am aware of the problems with Teva Levo.

Sorry and thanks for pointing that out.

I wasn’t aware of the other.

May I suggest you write an email to MHRA pointing out this apparently incorrect statement?

Yes I will

Not what you're looking for?
