I don't think anyone will be able to help - so far as I am aware, they simply do not exist. I can speak with certainty about the UK, USA, Germany, France, Turkey, Greece.

Anyone who has ever reported 10 microgram doses of liothyronine will most likely be doing one of these:

Getting a specially prepared product from a "specials" lab and almost certainly in capsule form;

Taking two 5 microgram tablets;

Splitting a 20 microgram tablet.

Hi thanks for information would anyone be able to let me know where to source the 5 mcg tablets then please

helvellaAdministratorThyroid UK in reply to Soozysoosop6 years ago

I did forget - the Italian product Liotir - which is a liquid and you can achieve any dose. Not, so far as I am aware, available outside Italy.

The only 5 microgram products I know are from the USA - SigmaPharm, Pfizer Cytomel, Mylan.

Any sources need to be passed on by Private Message - and not posted on the forum.

Perrigo also do 5mcg tablets

helvellaAdministratorThyroid UK in reply to EbonyEvans6 years ago

I left them out because:

a) Perrigo sold the rights on to Mayne Pharma;

b) Mayne Pharma appear to have said that they will no longer be producing the product - at all.

Thanks that’s good to know

Hi, I’m a little confused as I asked for private message from outset of my posting?

helvellaAdministratorThyroid UK in reply to Soozysoosop6 years ago

Any information as to where you can buy prescription-only medicines without a prescription must not be posted. However, other information can be posted on forum.

We generally prefer things to be in public. For example, EbonyEvans raised an issue with my response. And I replied to that. If everything had been in Private Messages that little bit of extra discussion/information might well not have come out.

Hi thanks again can anyone private message me where to source 5 mcg tablets please

You can just cut 20mcg tablets, that's what majority here have to do

Either use a pill cutter, or I prefer a small sharp craft scalpel

Cut reasonably equally.

Hi happy to cut 20 mcg in half but still don’t know where to source them from? Please could someone kindly private message me I’d prefer European country if at all possible

I am now on 20mcg daily (2x10mcg).the pharmacist told me that the 10mcg tablets are £400.00 per prescription?so would I be prepared to cut them in half,I agreed,anything to get of the levothyroxine.

Good luck
