The October 2023 NHS Drug Tariff has been published and my blog has been updated. The tariff price for Liothyronine 5microgram tablets has dropped to 12300 (from 12350). The tariff price for Liothyronine 20microgram tablets has risen to 4292 (from 4248).

Link to a blog post of Monthly NHS Drug Tariff prices for Liothyronine products from January 2023 onwards.

It does explain in the blog but yes - pence.

I don’t see Morningside 5mcg. Do you know if they have stopped making them?

helvella• in reply toStaffsgirl2 years ago

The NHS Drug Tariff doesn't actually list all makes.

You only see a make when there is only one supplier and it is category C. There are now two sources - Morningside and Sigmapharm.

You won't see Morningside 5mcg tablets (it is Category A) or Morningside 20mcg tablets (it is Category M) but you do see Morningside 10mcg tablets (it is Category C).

Hmm…am a little confused! 🤔

helvella• in reply toStaffsgirl2 years ago

I think it really is confusing.

My message really is that the NHS Drug Tariff doesn't say very much at all, nothing, about the makes that are available. Except in the very limited circumstance of there being just one solitary supplier.

Much more information about available products/makes in my medicines documents!
