T3

Hi can anyone tell me how I find out what brands of liothyronine available in the UK. My regular pharmacy is struggling to get my usual from Advanz Pharma which I believe used to be Mercury Pharma. I had to take Teva for a few months and was I’ll on this. Very tired and abdominal pains. I’m looking for T3 that has similar or the same components as my Advanz Pharma.

Hope someone out there can help. Thank you all in anticipation Picketywitch

Morningside is similar to mercury

Lasts better as blister packed

Possibly slightly stronger, but different people react differently to each medication
