It might be possible as a special import, but other than that, no.

(And it might be very hard work getting it prescribed and dispensed.)

Are there other forms of t4 meds that have less fillers?

You have to be clear what you mean by "less fillers" and why you want "less fillers".

Remember, if you reduce the number of different ingredients, you almost certainly increase the quantities of some of them.

Of course, the fewer different ingredients, the less chance of any one of them being something you do not tolerate. It makes more sense to try to identify whoch ingredients are a problem for you.

Have you tried all four makes of levothyroxine tablet in the UK?

You can be prescribed liquid Levothyroxine, but it's expensive and likely would need to see an endocrinologist to get prescribed

Not what you're looking for?
