Liothyronine 5mcg in EU

[Olgalk]

Hey all!

I checked the Helvella document trying to find where in EU one can get 5mcg liothyronine. It seems ACE pharmaceuticals in the Netherlands are the only producers.

I'm going travelling around the EU for some time (I have a UK & EU passport) so I wondered what the alternatives are for this particular dose, does anyone know? I know there are other UK brands that make 5mcg which I can try and get posted to me but trying to figure out if I can just get them in Europe as it might be cheaper.

I can't get 20s and split them because I take 2.5mcg three times a day.

Thanks,

Olga

There are 5 microgram dose products in USA and Canada, and Ireland (Sigmapharm - just like UK). Do bear in mind that, despite effort, it is not easy to find products across the European countries with any degree of certainty. Only a few have good websites which are accessible to someone who doesn't speak/read multiple languages. (Despite online translation tools.) There might well be products I have not found!

There's also IBSA Liotir in Italy - a liquid product.

I don’t see where in the us you can get liothyronine

Should be any pharmacy. Assuming you have a prescription.

Have a look at my thyroid hormones document to find out what makes are available.

I know Grossman has 25 Mcg but they are out of supply for many months
