I’ve been taking unipharma T3 and now have a private prescription from my GP , has anybody swapped to the German Thybon Henning brand ? And if so how did you find it ? Also do you have to do a straight swap or introduce gradually ?

Thank you

I just did a straight swap and it seems fine.

I haven’t swapped from a brand to ThyBon Henning. I started on ThyBon Henning and found it really good. Recently I have swapped from ThyBon Henning to Mayne Pharma as the NHS has finally prescribed me one of their brands available. I also find Mayne Pharma good.

ThyBon Henning I feel is very good. I’ve tried several over a period this year.

Glad your getting it from Germany. That where my journey started too this March. In June pressure was put on my NHS Endo to prescribe and to my amazement they have.

Do a 3 month trial. Prove by blood tests and your general health it was a success. That’s what I did and it worked. I live in the Chester area.

I had to post the prescription to them. I kept a copy. I sent a covering letter with my name address and email address. As soon as they received it in the post (about 7 days). They then emailed me and gave me options of how to pay. I paid by credit card for assurance. I received the T3 medication a week later. They were very good and professional.

Did you email

Hi

No. I just posted the original prescription. Kept a photo copy for myself. I added a hand written note from myself stating my details and my email address. I posted ‘signed for’ first class. This way you can track the letter with the post office tracking system on line. Just to ensure nothing goes missing. I sent it to:

Bennewitz Drugs Division,

FAO Certificate Pharmacist

Torsten Spenke,

Markt 3,

09456 Annaberg - Buchholz,

Germany

Once it arrives with them you will get an email straight away.

You then chose how you wish to pay. Once you’ve paid they post out to you. Medication arrives in small brown box on special delivery. I think I had to sign for it.

From posting from UK to you receiving the T3 will take about 12-14 days.

Within 2 days of taking T3 for me it was nothing short of a miracle.

I could hardly walk, from working full time to housebound within a few months. It is a life saver.

Hope it all goes to plan 👍
