Is T3 available OTC in Thailand?

[Jacs]

Am I correct in thinking that T3 is available OTC in Thailand? If so, does anyone know the common brand name? I usually get mine online from Mexico (Cytomel) but as I’ve friends visiting Thailand I thought I’d double check

Jacs, I have a feeling that T3 is not actually available in Thailand, but if anyone here knows differently, hopefully they will tell us.

Thanks for responding Helvella. It was a long shot but thought it worth asking

Remember, the law which allows you as an individual to obtain prescription-only medicines from overseas applies to you and members of your household.

Bringing in medicines for another person, not a member of your household, might not be covered.

Customs might ask and, of course, lying to customs is a bad idea.

(This is simply to protect you and your friend from a possibly awkward situation.)

Of course, they would be able to bring medicines in for themselves.

Thanks Helvella. I am aware of the rules 👍

No you can definitely not buy T3 over the counter or get it on prescription in Thailand as I discovered to my detriment after not bringing enough medication with me by accident. I bought a ‘cytomel’ knock off which was supposed to be legitimate and made in Germany but had zero affect on me. Had to eek out what I brought with me. Moral of the story is check and re-check what you are bringing with you. Ugh .
