Good morning, my pharmacist can not get Mercury Pharma Liothyronine.

I understand Another company has taken over. Has this LT3 been rebrandedand if so does it have the same fillers/excipients? I really do not want to change to another brand with different fillers>absorption rate>therapeutic effect. Is there an equivalent LT3 on the market with the similiar excipents?

It is quite possible that the product is listed under Advanz Pharma - who have long owned Mercury Pharma. This does not represent a change to the product at all. Just to marketing and how it can be found.

My medicines document includes PL 10972-0033 and PIP code 113-6530 for the product. (PIP is used by pharmacies for ordering medicines.)

My document also includes information and links about all other UK thyroid hormone medicines.
