Do you mean genuine Pfizer (formerly King) Cytomel from the USA?

Or any other liothyronine product sold as Cytomel?

That product is NOT Pfizer Cytomel. It is UniPharma Liothyronine. Any reference to "Cytomel" is a lure because that is the most searched-for name.

I have no opinion on whether Abdi Ibrahim Tiromel or Uni-Pharma Liothyronine is better because I have never taken either.

Everyone reacts differently to different brands, so no-one can really answer your question because the best one is the one that works for you. Maybe try some of each and decide which you feel best on.

Uni Pharma Liothyronine from Greece is currently virtually unobtainable without prescription

A website listing uni Pharma doesn't necessarily mean they actually have any

Is that Cytomel?

Read my responses on this thread.

I did, but got confused!

I take Tiromel and appreciate that it is cheap...on your pricing 1/3 rd of a price of some other T3 brands. Some say it’s less strong but it is a 25 mcg pill rather than 20 mcg. Best to keep to on brand to start with and continue on.

could someone please also PM an online supplier for tiromel. I live in Australia

So can we literally not buy Cytomel? I had the same question as am currently self treating with Tiromel but want to try Cytomel.

RedAppleAdministrator in reply to Rachel19585 years ago

Rachel1958, Clarification is needed here.

Are you looking for the original brand of Cytomel by Pfizer (formerly King) from the USA?

Unfortunately the name cytomel is frequently and wrongly used to describe other makes of T3.

Rachel1958 in reply to RedApple5 years ago

I don't know! is the short answer. I just want to try something other than Tiromel as i am very sensitive and may be reacting to one of the ingredients in it (very sore eyes, which is my main sensitivity sign). The best test is to try another brand, thus my question.

Thank you xx

Rachel1958, This is someone else's thread, so please start a new post asking for T3 sources and explain what you've said here.
