5mcg T3 lactose free

Hi

Is anybody on the 5mg lactose free T3? Can I get it anywhere myself? My pharmacist has just told me he can't order my T3 as there's a shortage of it?

it's an utter disgrace, he gave me no explanation and I am awaiting a second phone call tomorrow to see why and what is the reason. So now I am going to have to order my T3 online myself, can anybody help me?

Try a different pharmacy, they often say that if they can't/won't get it

Thanks I have a feeling they are trying to pull it from me he didn't even give me a valid proper reason just that he couldn't get it at the moment, total shambles!

I will try another pharmacy tomorrow morning first thing and see what they say!

Thybon Henning is lactose free. You could maybe get the 20 mcg tablets. They're quite big and easy to cut into quarters.

Which make did you get?

If you were getting Perrigo, then that has been transferred to Mayne Pharma, who appear not to be supplying the market at all.

Mylan and SigmaPharma and Pfizer (King) Cytomel all appear to be lactose-free.

Details of most (all?) USA medicines here:

I am not aware of a 5 microgram product from anywhere other than the USA.

There is an Italian liquid product - Liotir. That enables you to take any dose but might be difficult to get hold of.

Not what you're looking for?
