Sorry! Where is the thyroid meds list?

[TiredMummy]

Hi there,

I didn’t get on with Morningside T3 but get on fine with Thybon Henning. Problem is, I take 2.5mcg doses and splitting this from a 20mcg tablet isn’t easy. Can someone please point me in the direction of the list of different types of T3? I’d like to avoid one with Acacia as didnt get on well with TEVA T4 and that seems to be a common ingredient in both.

thanks, I know it’s on this forum somewhere but can’t seem to find it, apologies!

Are you prescribed on NHS or privately

Anything other than 20mcg is significantly more expensive

Morningside make 5mcg and 10mcg

Sigma Pharma make 5mcg

I’m prescribed T3 privately. I think Roma are hard capsules that cannot be split is that right? If so, the only option i would be interested in trying is Sigmapharm as I think they come as 5mcg tablets I could split into 2 for the 2.5mcg dosing? get on well with Thybon Henning but splitting them down to 2.5mcg pieces is tricky but it’s not the end of the world if I can’t find another alternative that suits me. 20mcg Thybon Henning will be lighter on the pocket too!

Roma capsules can be opened and you could halve the powder ……

But fiddly and many people find Roma doesn’t work as well

Apparently Sigma Pharma 5mcg contains mannitol

OK, I think I will give Roma a miss in that case. I’m not sure how I am with manitol so will either try Sigmapharm or just stick with Thybon Henning, thank you!
