Buying T3 from chemists in Turkey or Greece

Hello there. Last year my sister was able to buy T3 direct from a proper reputable pharmacist over the counter in Turkey for me without the need for a prescription. Does anyone know if this still stands? As she is going on hols in 2 weeks and she is unsure about whether this is still feasible.

Also the same for Greece anyone? Many thanks. LUCY

Hi Lucy

I don't think anything has changed in Turkey.

From information from very reliable members of this forum, a prescription is required in Greece (one member lives there) and only one box allowed at a time, although there may be the odd pharmacy here or there who may sell one box, but they are very few and far between.

Be aware that we have had spammers disputing this information on the open forum and also sending PMs to people who ask about T3 suppliers. These often include links to suppliers known to have let people down by taking their money and not sending the T3.

If you receive any PMs with information about any supplier, as a precaution you may wish to contact myself, or another one of the Admin Team, to ensure any information you have been sent is for a genuine supplier.

PLEASE - NO REPLIES MENTIONING SUPPLIER NAMES OR LINKS ON THE OPEN FORUM. IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION FOR LUCY PLEASE RESPOND BY PRIVATE MESSAGE ONLY. IF ANY INFORMATION ABOUT SUPPLIERS IS POSTED HERE, IT WILL BE DELETED AND THE THREAD CLOSED.

Hi there. Thank you so much for that information. I will be wary too. Best wishes Lucy

Print out a picture of the product you want your sister to ask for and give it to her. It reduces the risk of her getting given the wrong information or product because of the language barrier.

I bought T3 at chemists when living in Turkey but be aware that chemists tend to only carry one box in stock if any. I agree with humanbean about having a photo. The brand name is Timorel.
