Eurapon - No T3 - UK Prescriptions - is the correct ?

Is this correct that now due to Brexit that EU pharmacies will not issue T3 for Private Prescriptions. I always send a photo of prescription via email to Eurapon in advance before ordering.

I feel physically sick … reading below response from Eurapon. I can't not have this drug & survive - neither can my son. I can't afford to pay UK private prices.

"Dear xxxxx

thank you for your query.

Unfortunately since Brexit we are not allowed to accept prescriptions which were issued in UK, because only those issued within the EU are valid.

With kind regards

Try the other two listed on ThyroidUK's website.

I was under the impression that the prescriptions were acceptable until about December.

Thank you will try. Also having problems getting Private Prescriptions with a reasonable amount on.

Clearly my fault as I have had my eye off the ball as dealing with other abusive NHS practices in regard to other topics.

Suggest you get as much T3 ordered as possible BEFORE December
