Sorry a T3 problem again

Unfortunately my GP is no longer able to issue my prescription for T3 and whilst I know I’ve been lucky to get it until now I now need to source it myself. I can get a private script however my local pharmacy want £638 for it! Could anyone send me a private message with their source please?

Take a look at ThyroidUK's article on where to obtain T3 from Germany with a prescription

thyroiduk.org/tuk/treatment...

Apparently it is much cheaper than getting the prescription filled in the UK although the wording on the prescription has to be correct as the T3 comes as 20mcg tablets I believe.

Thank you Susie. I take 3x 5mcg daily so they obviously won’t dispense 20mcg tablets for me then

I don't know what they can provide. It might be worth contacting the pharmacies to see if they can help. Also you could try putting a new post on the forum asking where you can get 5mcg "brand name" T3 prescription filled.

You can cut a 20mcg tablet if all else fails.
