I have a mystery that needs solving and am after some help please. I am looking for information on excipient ingredients for Accord or Alliance brands of liothyronine 20mcg tablets. I have been advised by Boots pharmacy that these two makes are on their supply list (in addition to Advanz and Teva) to fill my prescription, and are easier to supply than Morningside (which is a special order). However, as I am sensitive to certain ingredients I wanted to check the PIL to ensure there isn't an ingredient I know I am sensitive to. I've not been able to find any information online in relation to these brands, other than the BNF listings (which don't show ingredients).
Does anyone have these and can you please post the ingredients and/or a photo of the PIL which shows the ingredients?
ps. I have checked ThyroidUK webpage and the incredible list produced by @helvella already to no avail.
Many thanks
Leanne

It's weird - I specifically asked Boots what brands they have available for T3, and I questioned it as I thought Teva, Advanz and Morningside were the only licensed in the UK. They confirmed they dispense all, along with Accord and Alliance. I also can confirm that Boots Online do not routinely stock Morningside T3, and they have to order it in specially if I want that. They have said there is no problems with them doing this - it just may take longer.
According to BNF both Accord and Alliance also exist (although may be white label distribution of other pharma-manufactured product)
This is the openprescribing data also indicating a range of available products, including both Accord and Alliance Health (which I think is part of the Boots corporate structure)
No-one I've spoken to has ever seen these In Real Life however! At least not yet…
I generally agree with you on pharmacies too, and up until a few years ago I always used my local pharmacy - however they were not helpful in supplying the levo manufacturer I needed and refused to help, saying they could only supply Mercury Pharma and Teva. I found Boots Online to be the most reliable in that regard, and they have been super helpful with any query I've had and very responsive since I've been using them, across both levo and liothyronine prescriptions. So I will stick with them.
Yes sorry, I missed that bit of your post However, it may be helpful for the link to be here for others reading this thread. I'll call out to helvella too, in case he has anything to add
I'd already replied on the other thread that is active!
The BNF lists distributors - not manufacturers/brands. Totally confusing if you use BNF as a source of information. Especially as some distributors have the same names as manufacturers, and some don't. AAH is part of McKesson UK which also owns Lloyds.
