Hi there, recently got T3 prescribed by a private doctor, the NHS wont prescribe it. Unfortunately private prescription is too expensive so I'm looking for online sources that are divisible by 10 to get them down to 5mcg.
The place I was looking at only has 25mcg currently.
Anyone who can help please message directly. 
T3 without prescription from Europe is 25mcg. This is undoubtedly the cheapest. Those who need less than 25mcg cut them with a pill cutter or sharp craft scalpel and the nearest you can get is 6.25mcg as it's unlikely to be possible to cut them down any more.
Ah ok. Is there a get around anyone uses to get nearer to a 5mcg dose? Currently been cutting 20mcg down to 5s.
I use 25mcg T3 tablets and I can't see how it's possible to accurately cut into 5mcg doses, at best it would be a guesstimate so in my opinion it would be best to cut into quarters and see how it goes. The European T3 may be weaker than the UK prescription T3 (I wouldn't know though as I' ve never had it on prescription).
The difference between 5 mcg and 6.25 mcg is so minute, it's hardly worth bothering about.
Good to know! Thanks.
Private prescription T3 is only £1 per tablet for Thybon Henning and guaranteed excellent quality and continuity of supply from specialist U.K. pharmacies
Do you know which Pharmacy's provides these in UK please I live in Doncaster Thank you
Roseway Pharmacy definitely

Ring around for best price
Thank youx
It’s available at Springfield Pharmacy in Richmond
"Only £1 per tablet"....that would cost me over £100 a month for T3. For life!
Few might need that amount but for many who do that is still a lot of money!
Are patients with other chronic life threatening conditions treated like this!
It's the 21st century yet we are worse off than 100 years ago both in lack of understanding by medics and availability of free NHS or affordable T3. Yet, this situation falls on deaf ears in high places.
Had it not been for TUK where I have been given the guidance to work out why I could barely function I would now in all probability be dead or at best bed ridden. I need a supraphysiological dose of T3 to function....and I'm not alone. However, I'm one of the lucky ones and hugely grateful for that. After much reading and support here I have been able to diagnose and self treat my problem. Not good enough for others! What happens to those who find themselves in a similar position but are suffering quietly behind closed doors who for whatever reasons have little or no medical support.
T3 costs a fraction of the amount mentioned above if sourced abroad and legally imported for personal use.
But, we have no guarantee as to how long this may remain available to us or (in some cases) as to the quality of the tablets.
Should we have to scour the globe for the medication we need to live anything approaching a normal life?
Like many others I depend on both this source and treatment...without the safety net of the NHS.
If one is short of funds and reliant on correct diagnosis and treatment ( T3) at the hands of the NHS then the future is bleak. This forum alone is clear evidence of the inadequate state of care for thyroid patients who do not respond to Levothyroxine.
kendrewaddams sorry this spiel is not exactly what you asked about!
You will however notice very little difference if you add 6.25mcg from a 25mcg tablet than 5mcg from one that is 20mcg....both are small (starter) doses. If you have a source for 25mcg tablets the I suggest you use them rather than making life your more complicated!! Good luck!
Sorry SlowDragon , I'm ranting again and telling you things you understand far better than I do. It just hits a raw spot that so many patients are struggling to get their hands on the medication they need to function.....even at only £1 per tablet.
But by far the majority of patients on T3 are only taking 15mcg or 20mcg daily
At least access to Thybon Henning is MUCH cheaper than U.K. T3
Maybe, but hard on those that need a higher dose, though I guess the chance of them getting a prescription is nil. So they can be left up a creek without a paddle.
Thybon Henning still available after Brexit?
What a monumental mess.
Yes at least specialist pharmacies in U.K. have managed to get U.K. patients access to Thybon Henning
Obviously the more people prescribed T3, the more likely our need for T3 will be officially recognised
Telling your GP your prescribed T3 is an entirely different scenario to saying yourself sourcing with no prescription
Recently several members seem to have been supplied “fake” T3 sourced online without prescription
Agree, it is an entirely different scenario and one that should not exist, but some people have no option other than to self source and self medicate.
We should not be left in the position where obtaining poor quality medication on- line is a possibility because medics refuse to accept that some of us need T3 in higher doses to function.
I can't see any change coming over the far horizon I'm afraid.
My ranting about it will make no difference!!
There’s no 20mcg T3 available without prescription
Hello, is it still possible to buy Thybon, from Germany, i thought after January this year they wouldn’t supply?Thank you
It isn’t available direct from Germany any longer
Brexit scuppered that option
Specialist pharmacies like Roseway labs can supply

Thank you for the clarification, i feared it was so!
No, as SlowDragon says, we can't get it ourselves from EU pharmacies now. But I get mine from Roseway Labs and the service is great. I'm grateful it's only £1 a tablet. It could have been so much worse. It should be better of course, we should not have to source our own. But here we are.
Thank you yes, as you say, at least it is available at a price, I suppose we can dream of a day when it might be reinstated on the NHS list!
Well it is still there if you can convince an Endo to give you some. But it's a postcode lottery and they seem hell bent on only giving out 10mcg a day to most people. That barely scratches the surface for most of us.
Thanks, an endo did initially agree to T£ but didn't stop my GP surgery stopping it!
I’ve just got Thybon Henning for 50p per 20 mcg tablets from a U.K. pharmacy (with private prescription).
Clemmie
50p a 20mcg tablet? Are you sure? Which pharmacy? Mine is £1 per tablet from Roseway Labs.
Yes I’m sure, I received my order on Wednesday. I contacted Roseway first but they didn’t instil me with confidence when they seemed unable to be able to read the prescription and provide the correct amount. So contacted Chemist4U who sent me freepost envelopes. I sent my prescription on Monday, received the order on Wednesday- 240 tablets for £120 plus £3.99 postage. Excellent service.
Clemmie
Thank you. I'm putting that one on my list! The cheaper we can get it the better.
I Got Thybon Henning on prescription from Customised 4 U for £37.99 for 100 20mg tablets.Denise
Yes they were really good, they sent it straight out, the postage was about £5.99 but i think igot it the next day, i would recomend them
