Thybon henning

[mandy72]

Just had first prescription through and it's 20mcg thybon henning

Up until now I was on liothyronine

I know the same meds but just wondered about the brand

Been on t4/t3 combo with endo for about a year now but drs have just started prescribing t3

I got on with it but I get in with TEVA too. Wish my pharmacy would get it in as I was on it 2yrs. Was this an nhs script at your normal pharmacy ? May ask mine to get it if it was. Xx

This is the brand that many members were sending their UK prescriptions to Germany to dispense (before Brexit) as it was so much cheaper than paying for it in the UK.

Which brand were you on before? You may find there is no difference, Thybon Henning may be even better!

I was on the white tub liothyronine (mercury pharma)

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to mandy72]

OK, so I think just try it, see how it suits you.

[mandy72 in reply to SeasideSusie]

Hopefully I'm ok with it, I'm nervous trying new brands

Is this on NHS prescription?

Thybon Henning 20mcg tablets are far cheaper than U.K. licensed T3

[mandy72 in reply to SlowDragon]

Yes NHS

I think it might be important to point out that pharmacies in the UK are expected to supply products with UK licences. (Exceptions are sometimes declared due to shortages or other circumstances.)

It is suspicious and I am wondering if they are supplying Thybon Henning but charging the NHS the standard tariff price for liothyronine?

Thybon Henning can be prescribed if a doctor decides it is necessary but the prescription would have to say that.

They can only supply a non-licensed drug if the licensed one is unavailable. I suspect they didn't try too hard as they stand to pocket some money by charging the NHS standard price.

[Star13 in reply to jimh111]

I went through this pricing difference and apparently its down to adding on “delivery charges”. Due to these extra charges the price does not end up being that much different. Believe me I argued the toss with them over the price and them making money but they say they can justify the extra costs. Frankly it stinks and these people are as bad as the pharmaceutical companies. And don’t get me started on the wholesalers and their part as well.

[jimh111 in reply to Star13]

I agree, if I can import 200 tablets for a fiver in delivery costs (prior to Brexit) then it can't cost much to import it in bulk.

I take Sanofi ThyBon Henning 20mcg. I’ve used others but for me this feels the best.
