T3 - EUROPE 2020. Hi can anyone tell me where they are getting Cytomel from online..? From a thyroid board I have been reading these are the brands with they correlating strength:

>>>>>>>

So from strongest to weakest:-

Cynomel Mexico (Grossman)

Cytomel USA (Pfizer)

Tertroxin UK

LA Pharma (not sure where from)

Aventis Cynomel

others not worth buying!

>>>>>>>>>

Many thanks

Jessica

The product Tertroxin was de-branded in the UK and is just "Liothyronine" and from Mercury Pharma (part of Advanz). (This was to cynically exploit a pricing loophole and massively increase the price here.) The are now two further UK makes - Morningside (who supply 5, 10 and 20 microgram tablets) and Teva (20 microgram only).

Aventis Cynomel is now, I believe, branded Sanofi Cynomel from France.

There is Sanofi Henning Thybon from Sanofi Deutschland.

LA Pharma is very questionable - no-one seems to know much about it and I am not aware of anyone using it (although a few have bought at least some).

Abdi Ibrahim Tiromel from Turkey.

Unipharma Liothyronine from Greece.

I do not like the site you have visited - it has not been maintained and a lot of people seem to get misled. Also, what works for one person might not for another - and vice versa. Ranking by strength is not ideal.

Have you got a prescription? I assume not.

Thank you for the information-I very much appreciate it. I do not have a prescription. My doctor thinks T3 is the devil and will only prescribe T4. I live in Barcelona, and can drive to France if I have too.

I agree regarding the site, unfortunately doctors don't want to learn or change their prescribing methods so I'am as are many; stuck using the web to gain information. I have since found this site (which I do believe is reputable)

I have read that Liothyronine Sodium Tablets, USP Mayne Pharma are good and not as expensive as Pfizer Cytomel. Does anyone no a reputable place online to buy any of the above in Europe..?

Many thanks for any and all input. Its just shocking how this disease is treated by the medical profession. I have 2 very small twin boys and I'm at my wits end with no energy, hair, swelling etc.

There are few European sources of T3 as most countries require a prescription.

Turkey appears not to.

We hear varying stories about Greece - some people definitely require a prescription, others manage to get some without. But that is if you go there in person.

This forum has guidelines which mean that discussion of possibel sources cannot be posted. (Use private messages.)

25. Do not post advertisements, links or information of any sort whatsoever, on where or how to obtain UK prescription only medications without prescription. This includes online pharmacies who issue 'prescriptions' on the basis of the completion of a simple health questionnaire.
