Hopefully someone else will come along soon who has more experience of this than me. There are members who are sending their prescription off to Germany and paying a vastly smaller amount than in the UK. You have to physically send your prescription in the post to Germany.

Not sure if I'm allowed to add a link to German supplier. Will send it to you by private message. There are though others on here who have discovered this much much cheaper way of getting T3 (Is it T3?)

Wildgeese,

What is the prescription for ie 20mcg or 25mcg Liothyronine?

[Hidden in reply to Clutter]

I’m not sure he is posting it to me but the last scripts were 5 mg

[Clutter in reply to Hidden]

Wildgeese,

No, if its Liothyronine it might be 5mcg but won't be 5mg. You might as well hang on until you have the prescription because the number of tablets prescribed will affect the cost and if a brand has been specified that will affect price too.

There are online pharmacies in the link below which you can ring around for prices.

Thank you yes last scripts were for 5meg ok appreciate your help

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Sorry 5mcg

[Clutter in reply to Hidden]

Wildgeese,

You should ask your endo to write a script for 20mcg or 25mcg Liothyronine. The scripts can then be used to buy Thybon from Germany for around €35 for 100 x 20mcg or you can buy Sanofi Cynomel 100 x 25mcg from France for a few Euros.

Oh my oh my I have just emailed my consultant asked could he do me an nhs script 🤞 if not could I have 20mcg

How embarrassing I feel like a beggar

[Clutter in reply to Hidden]

Wildgeese,

If your endo was more aware he would have considered the extortionate cost of Liothyronine in the UK.

[Hidden in reply to Clutter]

Thanks isn’t it awful what we have to do to try an get better it’s actually quite embarrassing

[Clutter in reply to Hidden]

Wildgeese,

I wouldn't be embarrassed to ask for a different prescription if it was going to save me >£800!

[Hidden in reply to Clutter]

Yea your right 👍

[shaws Administrator in reply to Hidden]

Not embarrasing at all. It should be Endos and doctors who should be embarrassed who've withdrawn an essential life-giving thyroid hormone and left many floundering and not knowing where to turn next.

You can email the German company directly to ask their advice- they're very helpful
