Stop The Thyroid Madness has an article listing all the ingredients of thyroid hormone replacements, scroll down to LIOTHYRONINE SODIUM by Uni Pharma in Greece (quite a long way down the page):

The number of mistakes on that page is incredible:

"Phizer" - Pfizer

"LIOTHYRONINE SODIUM (Generic) by Libertas Pharma" - has been renamed back to Mayne Pharma

"ARMOUR It’s made by Activas Pharmaceuticals"- which should be spelled Actavis and is now renamed Allergan.

Anyway, a Greek site says:

Which is different enough to need explanation!

I was under the impression that Greek T3 was almost impossible to get hold of now, and anyone selling it on the internet is quite possibly not going to send Greek T3, and might not send you anything at all.

If you are going there in person then Greek T3 is prescription-only. It is rare for people to find it for sale without prescription.

If you live in Greece and have a prescription, then that makes life a little bit easier, but you might still find yourself restricted to one month's supply at a time.

Are you asking if Greek T3 tablets have fillers/excipients in them? If so, then yes, they do. You cannot make a tablet without them. Quite apart from the fact that the pill wouldn't hold together, 25 mcg T3 would be so small you'd need a magnifying glass to see it.

Not what you're looking for?
