Bitiron is not licensed for use in the UK so you either need to import it from abroad yourself or pay privately for a private prescription if you can find a doctor willing to do this.T3 is available in 5mcg and 10mcg tablets but again you need a prescription to be able to get them.

As we can't discuss where to obtain UK prescription only medication without prescription on the forum any information should be sent in a private message. I will turn off replies so that no information is posted here.
