Searching for T3

Hi Folks

I have a very good friend who lives in Luxembourg and asked him if he could source T3 for me.

He has found a pharmacy in France that can supply Cynomel 0.025mg.

Is this the same as Liothyronine 5mcg

thank you in advance

I don't think so. I think it is the same as Liothyronine 25mcg.

No it’s 25mcg. Multiply milligrams by 1000 to convert to micrograms

French Cynomel comes from Sanofi (sometimes you see Sanofi-Aventis).

It is just a branded liothyronine.

Some people notice when they change makes, others seem not to. Difficult to predict.

Hi Shaws, yes these big companies no doubt, its just awful. My friend says 1 month supply 30 tabs. €3.67.

So yes we are being ripped off big time. But what do we do.
