Roma liothyronine

So I've been on the roma liothyronine for around 6 months. I've had bad indigestion with it despite taking it with a large glass of water. So I mentioned to the nurse this morning that I was better on the tablets. Got quite an antsy phone call from the practice pharmacist who wasn't happy about me wanting to change back. So instead of 3 doses of 5mcg she is asking me to take 10s and split them. I'm used to splitting tablets so that's not a problem. She honestly thought I would just put up with burning indigestion because of the expense.

Well done for standing your ground on this

Quite a few people have been changed to Roma capsules and find they don’t suit them

20mcg tablets cut into 1/4’s to get 5mcg doses are by far the cheapest option

Presumably you get Morningside 10mcg tablets?
