There is information there, but I don't think any of them supply 5 microgram tablets. If that is how the prescription is written, it is unlikely they will supply.

So far as I am aware, 5 microgram tablets are only available from the USA - whether directly or indirectly. Mylan, Pfizer Cytomel, etc.

Ask you endo for new prescription for 20mcg x 100 Liothyronine

Or ask him where you can get 5mcg tablets.....likely extremely expensive
