T3 available in Mexico?

Happy New and hopefully healthy Year!

I wonder if anyone of you know if T3 (Liothyrinine) is available (without prescription) in Mexico?

Does anyone know what it’s called over there?

Many thanks,

Cosmoscat

Hi CosmoCat,

I'm afraid T3 in Mexico is no longer available. At least not the the preferred brand Cynomel. You can still get another one called Triyotex, but people in the forum report it is not as effective, even though it comes as 75 mcg.

I know it is unavailable as I asked relatives who live over there to look for some, but it's nowhere to be found, and chemists have no clue when or if it will be available again.

Hiya, I was in Cozumel in November and although literally every antibiotic was available over the counter with no prescription, they do not have T3 anywhere! I think I went into at least 8 pharmacies! Hope this helps x

Same, but just 2 weeks ago. Also shopped for it in Cancun/Costa Maya, and they just don't have it.

Thank you Kitten44 and AuntyMandy for your replies! Much appreciated.

I can tell my sister, who is there now, to call off the search then.

I haven't been able to buy Cynomel from Mexico for several months my source has been unable to confirm Grossman's next production run...or if there will be one.

I've been using Triyotex (same source) which hasn't been satisfactory....either too weak or a reaction to excipients/ capsule material.

I'm now using the Cynomel I kept aside as an emergency supply and hope to obtain Tiromel soon.

Not sure this is much help to you though....

Cynomel was certainly my first choice!

Best...

A couple of replies have breached posting guidelines of not naming suppliers on the open forum. I will close the post to further replies so that no more information is posted here.
