Buying T3 in Pathos/Paphos, Cyprus?

[Rhub4rb]

Does anyone know the name of T3 in Cyprus and know what it's called or even have a picture of the box?

Just ask for T3 and explain its thyroid hormone or liothyronine and Greek pharmacists will usually understand. I get T3 from the NHS now but picked up a cheap few packs while in Greece last year in case NHS wouldn't supply. Cost about three Euros for 28 pack of 25mcg. They had no problem understanding. Most pharmacies didn't have any but happily ordered some. No prescription asked for. Think the brand was unipharma but not sure. I never used it as I got NHS supply shortly after coming back from Greece so don't know if they are a good brand or equivalent to NHS prescribed T3.

Hope you enjoy the sun!

That is a document with several images of card outers including UniPharma T3.

You may not be able to buy any T3 over the counter in Cyprus now. T3 is now supposed to be prescription only in Greece and the islands. Some members have tried to buy it recently and found none at all, occasionally a member has managed to get a box or two but struggled to find it.

Thanks.. My sister just arrived there but she won't be as dedicated as I would to find it so I won't bother her now (I received my tablets this morning so am ok for now).. Do you know if they are still priced about 1.20 for 100 in turkey as I am thinking of choosing there as a holiday destination for later this year so I can stock up?

Latest news is that T3 is now prescription only in Turkey too. But again, you may drop lucky but no guarantees. No idea of cost, I've never been to Turkey.
