Then you can order Thybon Henning from specialist pharmacies in U.K.

Ask Endocrinologist to change prescription to 20mcg and cut tablets into 1/4’s to get 5mcg dose

20mcg Thybon Henning are 50p-60p per tablet

So that’s approx 15p per 5mcg

That’s what thousands of U.K. patients do

a sharp craft scalpel cuts tablets cleanly

Are you sure Thybon Henning is even available in a 5 microgram tablet?

I was only aware of 20 and 100 microgram tablets.

Sorry - you replied to a reply by SlowDragon which was about Thybon and I assumed that was what you were referring to.

Is you SigmaPharm the USA product of the EU/UK product?

EU/UK has the marking on one side:

Σ

76

The USA product has:

Σ on one side and 18 on the other.

As it is now available in an EU/UK form, it ,might be less expensive but the pharmacies might not realise it even exists.

In which case that is the USA version.

If you look up SigmaPharm Liothyronine under UK in my medicines document you will find more details/links. And it is also listed (with virtually no details) under Ireland. (I will add information if and when I find out more.)

The main reason for me saying this is that it might work out less expensive for you!

I have created, and try to maintain, a document containing details of all thyroid hormone medicines in the UK and, in less detail, many others around the world. It is sectioned by UK - rest of the world, and by T4, T3, desiccated thyroid, etc.
