Hi every body, my local Boots the Chemist have informed me today that they can no longer supply me with Mercury Pharma Liothyronine - which I have had for 4 years - and suspect that its been purchased by another pharmaceutical again [insert eye rolling emoji here ].
Boots say that they can supply Teva UK Ltd, Morningside Healthcare (special order), Accord Healthcare and Advanz Healthcare.
* Does anyone know what's happening with Mercury Pharma Liothyronine?
* Does anyone have a list of excipients for each of the 4 brands listed above, so that I can evaluate the brand that is the closest to Mercury Pharma excipient amounts?
Thank you very much for your support xx

Lovely ... thankyou Jazzw and to helvella too. I have found info on Teva, Advanz and Morning side, but Accord is not listed in PDF as far as I can see.
Yes thank you @helvella ... you're quite right it looks like Boots the Chemist are getting confused. I actually have on the first line of my prescription "Mercury Pharma" Liothyronine 20mcg and they substituted Teva instead, which is weird! They should really know that Advanz is the owner of Mercury Pharma, of course I didn't know until today. I always go through the ritual of getting them to check the thyroid brands they have put it in the bag before I take it from them and today it totally paid off to do that. I will ask them for a P.I.L for the Advanz Healthcare just to double check the excipients 👍
I was multi- tasking and just opened up your link to the Advanz PIL and [drumroll ] its the same! Phew case closed ... back to Boots the Chemist to share some enlightenment. 😉
