Hi,which countries is it easy to buy T3 over the counter still?

[Jellybeat]

Can anyone tell me where you can buy T3 easily abroad?My son was basically promised T3 by one nhs endocrinologist & then the next one we saw said no!

[SeasideSusie Remembering]

You might be lucky in Greece or the Greek Islands. Members have reported that some pharmacies may sell you one or two boxes, some wont, it seems to be a matter of try and if no luck try another pharmacy. Possibly Turkey as well. Those are the only ones that I know of where you might buy over the counter.

I've recently bought it in Turkey without issues. I had to wait a couple of days for them to get it in from their warehouse, but I did buy 6 boxes lol.

Argentina. It will be impossible to ship it. Someone would have to bring it to you.

Mexico you can get the info via pm on the sttm website (US thyroid support group). I believe they sell cynomel

[AmberBee]

[jade_s]

Thanks for the heads up. fortunately my dr. has no problem writing for T3.

[jodes86baldwin]

Can I ask how do you know the dosage of T3 you need to take or order. I've been considering taking t3 as I still feel rubbish on thyroxine alone and my gp doesn't listen

[jade_s]

Do you have a link to that? Are you referring to Grossman being sold?

I agree other T3 brands are just fine. No one here says otherwise.

[helvella Administrator in reply to jade_s]

Grossman in Mexico were already a subsidiary of Valeant of Canada.

Laboratorios Grossman-Valeant

Valeant had major problems and were acquired by Bausch Health Companies Inc. - who also own Bausch & Lomb.

On Bausch Health's website - they link to their Mexico site:

Even listing a website:

What is happening? I have no idea.

[terebol]

If only docs - wherever they practice- would educate themselves on testing & treating the whole panoply of thyroxines there would not be any need for patients to worry about where the meds are coming from. Hope I do not wind up in that situation, but if I ever do, I'll look east, not south of my border!
