cost of t3

hi all

I have been on thyroid sicca and my gp will no longer prescribe it. I am going to go private to try a t4/t3 combo. I did this once before and did well on it. I realise I will have a long drawn out battle to get this prescribed on the nhs. I wondered what prices people have been paying for it privately just so I can see if my budget will stretch

many thanks

Thea

thanks. Really helpful. Thyroid sicca is essentially armour or NDT. Thanks again. Really helpful to have an idea in mind x

TheaW, Your question may encourage private messages to be sent to you by scammers, telling you where you can buy medications without prescription.

If you've not been on the forum in recent times, you may not have seen our scammer warning post. Please click this link to read it healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

Be especially wary of links to websites that show no information about who or where the 'vendors' are.

Thanks for the heads up. I actually read the advice this morning. I’m definitely aiming for the prescription route as I want someone monitoring me too! Thanks again x

Here’s link for how to request Thyroid U.K.list of private Doctors by email but also link in the email to download list of recommended thyroid specialist endocrinologists who will prescribe T3

Ideally choose an endocrinologist to see privately initially and who also does NHS consultations

Knowing the NHS tariff prices might at least give you some idea of UK prices.

Current NHS Drug Tariff Liothyronine Prices

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

Also includes link to information for Northern Ireland and Scotland. (Wales' data is based on England.)
