Changing from Mercury Pharma T3

Just wondering how people get on if they have been taking MP T3 for several years and then GP stops prescribing it? I know that T3 is available in Europe, but is it the case that MP can only be obtained in UK?

Having had a bad experience with Teva, I’m now wondering on my best course of action to prepare for withdrawal of my T3? Is there anywhere I can get MP except at very high prices?

Which other brand is most similar to MP T3? (And could you PM me how to get it please)

Loads of people don't get on with Teva T3 or T4

However that doesn't mean you won't find other brands OK

Have you tried Morningside Healthcare NHS T3?

I prefer it to MP, but others don't like it

Uni Pharma was excellent, but currently difficult to get (no prescription required) There are several other non prescription options

Lots of people say Thybon Henning from Germany is very good. Private Prescription only but obviously much cheaper than UK. Same applies to Sanofi

I don't get on with Tevo but now have Morningside and they are ok. Not had Mercury Pharma T3 for sometime now.

I would put on your prescription when you receive it that you can not tolerate Tevo and speak to the pharmacist about it, they should record it on their system as well. Hopefully you will get one of the other brands that will suit your needs. Hope all goes well and take care :)

Not what you're looking for?
