Has anybody successfully obtained Henning L-Thyroxin 25mcg in the UK via GP prescription?

[Gillybean1]

Hi all,

What is the problem obtaining this, can somebody help me please? The telephone number and revised number on the TUK list of meds leads to customer services at Sanofi ,where repeatedly no one knows the answer, or it goes to a recorded message.

The medinfo for Sanofi emailed back that they have no info how to find which pharmas in UK have stock,or who they distribute to.

I have tried, Boots, Lloyds,Pyramid,6 smaller local ones, all who say "computor say no" .And are all very very reluctant to even try sourcing it for me despite script being worded Henning L-Thyroxin.

Is it perhaps only available now on a private script, does anybody know please? I see online its still an extremely reasonably priced medicine. I can see that it requires a prescription but my German language skill is poor and despite entering Translate to English at the start, by the time I enter the product it reverts to German.

Any thoughts, greatly appreciated,

Every besst wish, G

Gillybean1, Is your script NHS or private? If private try rosewaylabs.com

Hi Red Apple, thank you for taking the time to reply. Its an NHS one. Many years back (2015) back my GP wrote Henning L Thyroxine Levothyroxine Lactose free on the script, and I got it at a local Pharma. They can no longer get it since Brexit saying complicated paperwork/expense would now be incurred, but suggested a private script and buy online.So more expense.

Every best wish, G.

Thybon Henning T3 isn’t currently licensed for NHS use

To be prescribed Thybon Henning on NHS it would have to be on a “named patient” basis and as a special prescription

Special prescriptions are frequently extremely pricey for NHS ……there’s no price regulation (think of a price and double)

As there are are now 3 different brands licensed on NHS you’re very unlikely to get Thybon Henning prescription on NHS

NHS options are Morningside, Mercury Pharma or …..Teva (lactose free)

Private prescription enables access to Thybon Henning 20mcg tablets via specialist U.K. pharmacies at approx 50-60p per tablet.

Henning L-Thyroxin is levothyroxine! Not T3.

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to helvella]

Well spotted

Even less likely to get that then

[Gillybean1 in reply to SlowDragon]

Thank you SlowDragon for your reply. I am looking for L-Thyroxine by Henning not T3 Thybon Henning.

It was available GP script in 2015, but post Brexit not. Best the Pharma can suggest is private script and go online. More expense...

Every best wish to you, and thank you, G

U.K. prescriptions no longer useable in EU

[helvella Administrator]

The critical bit is whether the pharmacy accepts UK prescriptions. And is willing to send to the UK.

The pharmacy below does send products to the UK but I simply do not know if they currently accept UK prescriptions. You would have to contact them to ask.

The usual size is 100 tablets. (They also do the somewhat odd 98 tablets!)

Thank you Helvella. How does one stop it jumping back to German? I can try the GP script and see what happens, but the UK Pharma that dispensed it on GP script in 2015 says he can no longer get it post Brexit, without reams of paperwork and expense to him. Private script and DIY was his recommendation.

Every best wish, G.

It depends on what you are using!

Which browser are you using and on what sort of device? (E.g. Chrome on Windows.)

[Gillybean1 in reply to helvella]

ok thank you, I will try another server,

Roseway can supply Thybon 20 Henning at a cost of £60 for 100 tablets but the prescription must specify 'Thybon Henning'. This is because pharmacies have to supply UK licensed medicines if a generic name is specified.

[Gillybean1 in reply to jimh111]

Hi Jimh111

Thank you for your reply. Its actually L-Thyroxin by Henning I am after (levothyroxine) and they are looking into it.

Every best wish G.

Roseway only supply private prescriptions not NHS

[Gillybean1 in reply to SlowDragon]

Thank you SlowDragon.

I just tried versando and they have it but when I put it in basket it says no payment method available fir my country … I buy b12 from them with no problem with payment so I added on b12 to order and still said no method of payment available …. I took the thyroxin off and was going to let me proceed with order…. Maybe it is until they get the prescription …. Not super helpful but maybe you could email them

[StitchFairy in reply to Delilahmy]

UK prescriptions aren't valid in EU any more and haven't been since Brexit.

[Delilahmy in reply to StitchFairy]

ah never expected that ….. thanks StitchFairy

[Gillybean1 in reply to StitchFairy]

Hello StitchFairy,

Yes so it seems, I did OK twice post Brexit getting my T3 scripts as usual, then this year after June ,nothing, no e mail, just ignored the prescriptions.

Every best wish, G.

Every best wish, G.
