Help sourcing own Levo and t3.

Cheekycharlie1981 profile image

I’m wondering if anyone can send me advise and help on how to source alternative medication, where and how.

I’m not well on uk Teva but only Levo without dairy in uk, alternative suggestions please and how I get it.

I’ve had a few brands of t3 and I’m really wanting to source Thybon 20 Henning as the fillers sound better. Or any others someone can suggest and well on, dairy free. I believe I’m reacting to calcium sulfate which causes nausea.

Have you checked out the ingredients of all the different thyroid hormone replacement brands available in the UK, ThyroidUK has a document listing them all here:

thyroiduk.org/tuk/treatment...

If there is something suitable you could ask your GP to prescribe it.

You can send your prescription to Germany for Thybon Henning as long as it's written

Liothyronine 20mcg 100 tablets

Details of pharmacies in Germany in this article:

Yes I’ve done a mass of research I believe the mannitol such as the french Levo is possible making me feel sick and I’ll and the calcium sulfate in the Mayne and Sigma Pharma also causing sickness.

I’ve only found an American brand so far for the Levo which only has 4 ingredients wish it was available in uk.

Dose the scrip for Thybon need to be private?

Dose the scrip for Thybon need to be private?

The details in the TUK article are for sending a private prescription and how to pay for it. However, you could ask your pharmacy whether they will be able to obtain Thybon if your GP gives you an NHS prescription specifying that brand.

Not what you're looking for?
