How to buy Euthyrox?

[Nothyroidpatient]

I ran out of my UK prescription while in Spain and bought over the counter Euthyrox. I felt so much better on this and want to continue taking it. My specialist would change the prescription but the chemist says it can't be bought in UK. Does any one know if it can be got here or how to buy it on line?

My daughter is on Euthyrox. We lived full time in Dubai at the time so had our choice of T4 meds as you can just buy them OTC. When she went to school in Scotland 2 years ago I found a wonderful Pharmacy that did their upmost to get them for me, without success. We still go back to Dubai on a regular basis so we can stock up. Sorry if that is no help but if you know someone who lives there they could FedEx some for you?

You can buy levothyroxine (euthyrox) here without a previous script (the online consultation is easy) <redacted supplier>

this link takes you somewhere else, and entering 'thyroxine' or 'euthyrox' brings 'no results' reply from the site. I'd really like to source the old formula, which I have been taking for over 30 years with no problems. Are you sure that is the correct site - please? thank you.

They say they do not supply thyroid treatments, so obviously someone got to them.

That link no longer goes to where it appeared to go. It is misleading and fpor that reason, I have removed it.

However, it also transgresses our guidelines as sites which use the consultation and dispense route are not allowed.

If you have a prescription, you can buy yourself from a pharmacy in a country that sells it, such as this one (link to search results for Euthyrox in English - I hope):

versandapo.de/article/searc...

You would have to pay!

I don't remember anyone ever saying they have managed to get it supplied from pharmacy within the UK.

Make sure the prescription is written appropriately - number of tablets, etc.

[Iwanttheoldformula in reply to helvella]

entering 'euthyrox' gives 'no results' at that site also - any other ideas please?

There are some suggestions here:

Interesting. I haven’t heard of Euthyrox before. What is it ?

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to AliF]

Just a make of levothyroxine tablets widely supplied in some European countries.
