If you can get your private prescription written as

Thybon Henning 20mcg x 100 tablets (or multiples of 100)

then try Smartway, Roseway or Chemist4U from ThyroidUK's list, they should all be selling at around £50-£60 for 100 tablets for that brand:

I bought some recently from Chemist4U for 50p per tablet. Roseway had gone up to 60p a tablet. So it looks like supply is now going to be an issue. Why? Because we left the EU. this will be a third country export issue. This doesn't bode well now I'm on 60mcg a day and not finished raising yet.

Im aiming to get up to 60 also and No its not a good sign, would be good to know if anyone can find it cheaper but thanks for the prices there.

50p per tablet was the cheapest it's been for years.

I really doubt it's just because we left the EU. The Ukraine war will be having a major impact. Countries taking in Ukrainian refugees will obviously be supplying them with medicines on top of their usual client base. And any raw manufacturing ingredients normally supplied by Ukraine and/or Russia obviously won't be available to EU or UK. This is not just a UK problem.

This is true, it seems to be affecting anything that needs to be kept cool for a start. Apparently a gas/liquid that is used in industrial and scientific laboratories to keep things in refrigeration is largely supplied by Ukraine, which will affect supermarket supplies, and I guess medicines ?

I had an alert in my inbox from a quilting shop in America that supplies of fabrics and kits have all been delayed due to the war...I can't quilt anyway as I don't have the stamina at the mo, but I thought it was interesting as to why that might be. No clue.
