Hello,

Can someone please DM me where to purchase T3 in Europe? I have very high RT3 and low total T3, trying to get my symptoms under control. Many thanks in advance.

Warmly

Have you tried asking your doctor? It's much easier to get it prescribed in France than it is in the UK. And, if your usual GP won't prescribe it - some of them won't because they have no idea what it is - then just try another GP. You can do that in France. :)

Having said that, rT3 is the result of a problem, not the cause of one. And, Total T3 is irrelevant. What you need tested is Free T3.

Yes I have tried doctors to no avail here and I have tested Free T3. Thank you and if anyone could DM sources in EU would be much appreciated.

Very difficult to get it shipped to France, these days, due to a change in the law. It is now illegal to buy prescription medication without a prescription, so some providers refuse to ship here. Plus good suppliers are shutting down all the time. I don't have one myself, at the moment.

My medicines documents do not tell you WHERE you can get products (at least, not vendors - just countries), rather, WHAT products you might find.

helvella's medicines documents (UK and Rest of the World) can be found here:

helvella - Thyroid Hormone Medicines

helvella has created, and tries to maintain, documents containing details of all thyroid hormone medicines in the UK and, in less detail, many others around the world.

This link takes you to a page which has direct links to the documents from Dropbox and Google Drive, and QR codes to make it easy to access from phones.

The UK document contains up-to-date versions of the Summary Matrix for tablets, oral solutions and liothyronine available in the UK.

I live in France and have cynomel T3 prescribed. My GP also tests for FT3 too. It is made here in France by Sanofi. 30 tablets cost just a few euros. Do you have a Carte Vitale?
