Fake T3

[SassyAF]

Hi, I’m pretty certain that UNI-PHARMA T3 comes in strips of 10, not 15? Can anyone confirm this please?

Thank you

[SeasideSusie Remembering]

Mine are 3 x strips of 10 per box. However, it's 18 months since I bought any so I can't say whether or not the packaging has changed.

As I keep a note of potential fake Tiromel batches and from which supplier(s) they originated, perhaps you'd care to send me a PM with details of the batch number and expiry date of this Unipharma, who supplied it, if it's a different supplier from who you normally use and whether there is any obvious differences with the packaging - both box and blister packs. If there is fake Unipharma around then we need to keep an eye on this.

SeasideSusie I haven’t ordered T3 since 2017! So I can’t compare suppliers. It also came flat packed and I stupidly threw the box away before checking. This was last week and it just occurred to me today, that unipharma normally have 3x strips of 10 per box and not 2 strips of 15. I feel so stupid!

SassyAF, Manufactures do occasionally change their packaging. Can you post a photo of the box, and add batch number, manufactured & expiry dates etc details too please.

[SassyAF in reply to RedApple]

Red apple I no longer have the box. I have noticed on the back of the strip it says ‘sodium’ and I believe genuine T3 says ‘sodyum’

.

I did upload a picture of the back but it’s not showing up for me

The spelling of sodium has never come up with Unipharma T3 because nobody has ever mentioned they may have fake ones. The spelling was to do with Tiromel.

My packs of Unipharma over the years, all genuine, have always had the spelling SODIUM and the foil backs look exactly as your picture but just strips of 10.

Please send me a PM with the name of the supplier and I'll check to see whether it was involved where people had a problem with weak or fake Tiromel.

Also, please send me the batch number and expiry date which will be on the blister pack. This information will be at the ends of the strip, batch number one end, eg L 20 01, and the expiry date the other end, eg E07 23. You can see these numbers from the side the tablets are showing, not the foil side.

Seaside Suzy the spelling with unipharma only caught my attention today as i googled images of fake T3

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to SassyAF]

Please send me the information I have asked for in a PM. If there is a possibility of fake Unipharma T3 we need to make a note of everything (batch numbers/expiry dates/suppliers) so that we have this information in case others have problems.

Uni-Pharma is "sodium" - it is Tiromel which says "sodyum".

This document might help but it is somewhat out of date.

I'd be very happy to receive updates if anyone has anything to add.

Thank you helvella

[SassyAF in reply to SeasideSusie]

L20-003E08-2023 is at one end and nothing at the other end. If you zoom in the first picture you can see it’s blank

[SeasideSusie Remembering in reply to SassyAF]

Please send supplier information in a PM.

[SassyAF]

Have sent you a pm

Was this resolved? I just opened my new order and they were also strips of 15. We're they ok?
