Swapping brands T3

[Simplyred57]

When changing brands of T3 ( Unipharma to Thybon) is it better to introduce slowly or just swap brand , I take a split dose ,So could I take Unipharma in the morning and Thybon late afternoon?

I just swap brands.

[Simplyred57 in reply to Lalatoot]

Which brands have you used? Not sure how strong thybon is compared to unipharma?

[Lalatoot in reply to Simplyred57]

I have swapped between TEVA and Morningside depending on what the chemist can source.

Note that this represents a change of dose (Thybon being 20 and Unipharma 25 micrograms).

I do not take T3 so have no experience of such changes.

I was thinking of replacing a 0.625 unipharma with a 5 mcg of thybon as I’m not sure if it’s stronger ?

I am definitely not the right person to answer that!

Hopefully, someone with experience will answer.

[Simplyred57 in reply to helvella]

Yes hopefully thank you 😊

See how you get on

I would swap afternoon dose initially. Perhaps wait 5-7 days before swapping morning dose

Not personally tried Thybon.

Many people report Thybon gives smoother delivery somehow
