I have created, and try to maintain, a document containing details of all thyroid hormone medicines in the UK and many in other countries.

Wockhardt, Mercury Pharma and Teva produce 25 microgram tablets.

It isn't just in Swindon you can't get Accord 25 microgram tablets - they do not exist!

This document has information about the available thyroid hormones in the UK and, in less detail, around the world.

You could also have a read of this as to how different dosing can be achieved.

Cut 50mcg tablets Accord in half to get 25mcg

Accord don’t make 25mcg tablets

Accord don't make a 25mcg tablet, only 50mcg and 100mcg. If you need 25mcg why not cut a 50mcg tablet in half?

Mercury Pharma make 25mcg tablets, as do Wockhardt.

Teva also make a 25mcg tablet but many people don't get on with Teva brand.

Northstar does a 25mcg tablet but it is actually Teva tablets rebranded.

If you get on well with a brand it's best to stick to it rather than mix brands, so your best bet is to cut a 50mcg Accord tablet in half.

Thank you

That’s what I’ve been doing breaking the 50’s in half. Trying to get more of those so have been breaking down the 100’s

Yes haven’t mixed brands since I was advised when first on here.

Hi Me too. gave me Teva In 25mcg in a Northstar box. which should have been accord. Teva made me ill before .. And I had to ring my pharmacy. I take 75mgs a day. 50 mcg which is Northstar and accord. and 25 mcg which is by Wertherdt . The pharmacist manager said they cant get wekherdt so told me to take two 50 s one day and 50 the next

My 25mcg is Teva and the weird thing is it’s a larger tab than 100mcg. I’ve had no problem in getting 25mcg (don’t have packing for last lot but think Mercury) though I think there should be a size warning given by chemist! Can you cut the 50mcg?

Yes I break them up with no bother
