Well done

Currently can be difficult to find a pharmacy that can track down any liquid levothyroxine

McPammy may know more on finding liquid levothyroxine stock

Hi. I’ve recently been able to obtain my normal GP prescription for Liquid levothyroxine from my local village pharmacy. The brand I now get is Mercury Pharma 50mcg strength. I collected 4 bottles just last week. Since the beginning of this year there has been a lot of supply disruption. What I’ve done is put in an extra prescription to make sure I’m 2 months ahead and hoping any supply disruption will have smoothed out during any 2 month period. I now keep a healthy stock at the bottom of my fridge. My latest 4 bottles are all a new batch as the expiration date has moved forward. I’m not at home this weekend so can’t check the dates right now. There is stock out there. Maybe try hospital pharmacies but you’ll need a white hospital prescription to get it. Your endocrinologist if you have one could help out. I did this st the beginning of the year.
