Buying levothyroxine privately

[Book99]

Hi again

Is there a way to buy levothyroxine privately in UK? Asking just in case GP doesn't increase my dose.

Thanks

No, you need a prescription in the UK. It is possible that some of the overseas T3 suppliers also sell Levothyroxine. They can't be named on the forum though.

Some countries might now not post medication to UK due to Brexit.

I don't know what Brexit has to do with it unless it's to do with dispensing a UK prescription, we know that the German pharmacies don't seem to be doing that with UK prescriptions for T3 now.

I know some non-prescription T3 has been getting through with no problems from some suppliers since January and I haven't seen a post where a member has said their usual supplier is no longer sending non-prescription T3.
