Hi.
I have been on ThyBon Henning 20mcg T3 medication since April this year along with Levothyroxine. I have a conversion disorder. I’ve been sourcing this medication privately. I take 5mcg twice a day and cut the ThyBon Henning into quarters successfully. Recently I was finally given, after a 15 month battle with the NHS, T3 on the NHS. I was given Sigma 5mcg. I was initially really pleased about this as this meant I don’t have to cut into quarters anymore. However, I had a bad skin reaction to Sigma. Skin burning, stabbing pains and after a few days a rash too. I thought it was shingles but GP said definitely not and it’s a bad reaction to Sigma.
I then requested another NHS brand. This week I’ve collected Mercury Pharma 20mcg to be cut into quarters These tablets are much smaller than ThyBon Henning and it’s proving virtually impossible to cut into quarters I was only given 28 tablets and have already lost some as they crumble easily
My question to you very helpful people is .... does anyone know of a T3 NHS brand other than Sigma or Mercury Pharma that can successfully be cut into quarters please I need to take T3 5mcg twice a day The hospital pharmacy where I collect the T3 medication are trying to look into it I have requested if they could just get me ThyBon Henning but I’m not sure if they can
Thanking you
