As we really don't know why you do better on L-Thyroxin Henning than other levothyroxine products you have tried, it is difficult to make any suggestions.
Below you can find out what levothyroxine tablets are available in the UK. There are links to the documents for all of them which enables you to identify their ingredients.
Also, without trawling back over previous posts, we don't know which products you have already tried!

thank you , does wockhardt only do 25mg tablets ?
As you have a prescription you can send it to the following Germany pharmacy, though you'd have to pay for it yourself. This will work until end Dec 2020 when UK leaves the EU, I don't what the arrangements will be afterwards.
Send your prescription by tracked delivery (and take a copy/photo of it so you know what you sent).
T3 (liothyronine) from Germany with prescription bennewitz.com/scat/scatphar...
Current price is €21.36 (about £20) for 50 × 20mcg tablets.
Appreciate you replying, meant to be helpful - I know, but the poster actually asked about L-Thyroxin Henning - not Thybon (T3).
The link could still be used, of course.
