Evening thyroid people

Can anyone tell me why T3 has shot up in price by 600% for NHSscripts when it is reasonable online?

It will be interesting yo see how this progresses.

Don’t hold your breath. Things are progressing at glacial speed. There hasn’t been an update since January 2019.

Fines are really peanuts to a pharma company

I assume because the NHS has a very poor purchasing department and companies know that they allow themselves to be ripped off

I remember reading about an NHS hospital arranging for a new internal door to be hung or an old one to be re-hung, something like that. The bill was allegedly £57,000.

On the subject of T3, this article from the BBC explains what was happening back in 2017 :

Smilingjane can you pm me on where to buy T3 please? I’ve run out and the Mexican pharmacy says it’s not shipping to the UK

[smilingjane in reply to melodie]

Will check my previous responses and get back to tou in a mo 😊
