Does anyone struggle to get T3 on the NHS particularly the morningside brand?

Been virtually impossible to get 20mcg Morningside tablets last few months

I have emailed and spoken to Morningside several times. They say there’s no issue

Members say otherwise

I didn’t even know they did 20mcg tablets! I only get the 5mcg ones that’s all iv ever been given…

I get 10mcg tablets from Boots. I found there were recent supply issues with 5mcg (I take 15mcg) so GP agreed to prescribe more 10mcg and I just cut one in half.

Yesteday I collected 3 months supply of Morningside 5mcg size from my hospital pharmacy. So no issue with 5mcg’s at the moment.
