This is partly for helvella but also for others looking for liquid Levo at the moment when it's been scarce.
By a mishap I ended up with a repeat prescription a bit early for my liquid Levo, so I bravely phoned the independent pharmacy and they actually had a bottle on their shelf (extra gold stars). So I rushed down there and picked it up with the balance remaining, but it's a type not mentioned on the T UK website. Can't see your list Helvella as the dropbox link wasn't working. It's by BrillPharma. Maybe it's been rebranded but they do seem to specialise in liquids. Thought people aught to know it's at least possibly available at the moment.

It is in my document and, when I tried, the link below worked!
However, my document does need updating - as it still says that no-one has received it yet!
I'll do that later or tomorrow.
helvella - Thyroid Hormone Medicines
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.
Ah you do have it on your list. 😀 It's not on the Thyroid UK website but that may not get updated that often. Your document states its never been distributed in the UK.
Your document is amazing but navigating it accompanied by brain fog is challenging. 😛 I thought you'd be interested anyway as I've not had this brand before. This pharmacist is incredible tbh. Having that on the shelf is nothing short of a miracle atm. 😍
Ah I'm afraid the navigation bar and also the explanatory post somehow passed me by. I just searched the document using 'command+f' (on a Mac). I'll read the post now as it might come in useful another time.
Funnily enough my GP had written on the prescription "Teva brand only" as I was going to try and streamline my supply of Levo. I was concerned he wouldn't dispense anything else but wasn't an issue in the end. He just said I'd get what I was given and have to be grateful and we both had good laugh. 😆
I use your Vade Mecum frequently (not kept about my person but book marked).
As said before it really is a huge exemplary piece of work and I love it, but I also run a MAC and can't see the Table Of Contents so have to use the search word facility.
Or scroll up and down which usually entails me becoming distracted by some other wonderfully interesting information that I then spend the next twenty minutes reading and never knew I needed 😁.
Always appreciative but is there a way of getting this Table of Contents and Footer do you know?
I remember what happened now. I did previously download it and then that copy suddenly said it had been deleted by the owner. I guess this was when you did a whole new update?
Anyway maybe it would be useful for others to know they have to download it for the Table of Contents facility. I'm not very IT literate and others with brain fog need leading 😊
hi it’s a new brand I wouldn’t have it couldn’t find anything about it I’ve always had mercury but it was on my g p list I’m I the process to change pharmacy he refused to get my t3 which is a special so not taking it my next problem wil e thyroxine
Can’t take zen teva taking teva which gives me headache and that’s out of stock x
But when I first added it to my list, it was not available and no-one had mentioned it. I failed to update my document when it was first mentioned here and still need to do that.
Poor dose consistency doesn't sound too good. I've just started it and got 2 months worth so I'll just have to see how things go, as literally no choice of anything else at the moment!
