Liothyronine T3

[130396]

Is anyone having difficulty getting Mercury Pharma Liothyronine?

The pharmacy I’ve been getting mine from for 8 years are now saying they can’t get them as there is a supplier issue.

If they can’t get them what’s the best alternative?

No advice, as such, but my documents list all available UK liothyronine products.

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. There is now a specific world desiccated thyroid document.

The link below takes you to a blog page which has direct links to the documents from Dropbox and QR codes to make it easy to access from phones. You will have to scroll down or up to find the link to the document you want.

The UK document contains up-to-date versions of the Summary Matrixes for levothyroxine tablets, oral solutions and also liothyronine available in the UK. Latest updates include all declared ingredients for all UK products and links to Patient Information Leaflets, etc.

hi helvella

I clicked into the link but cannot see where Mercury Pharma is mentioned

Can you tell me if I’m doing something wrong ?

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to 130396]

Look for Advanz? Mercury Pharma is just a label used by Advanz.

[130396 in reply to helvella]

So Advanz is same as Mercury Pharma?

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to 130396]

Yes. The company name is Advanz even if the packet says Mercury.

You can see the petition below refers to Advanz despite the product packaging saying Mercury.

these are t4 medications . I was asking about T3

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to 130396]

The answer is the same!

I used the levothyroxine entry because that includes the branded Eltroxin.

Advanz/Mercury liothyronine

Sorry I don’t understand? I thought both those on the screenshot were T4

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to 130396]

I think I'm missing something!

The picture I just replied with is for Advanz Pharma (Mercury) Liothyronine.

(The screenshot I first posted was for levothyroxine. Because the Advanz Pharma/Mercury branding issues are exactly the same for levothyroxine as liothyronine. But with levothyroxine there is the additional issue of the branded Eltroxin. I thought I was covering the ground by posting as I did. Obviously, I actually confused. Apologies.)

The photo showed levoxyl and another one

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to 130396]

The second screenshot shows Advanz Pharma (Mercury) liothyronine.

[130396 in reply to helvella]

Thanks for that. What does it mean though? Is it available ?

[helvella Administrator Thyroid UK in reply to 130396]

I cannot say how available they are. I posted my document so you could see what other products are potentially available!

It can be worth ringing round pharmacies asking if they can help to get what you actually want!

[130396]

thank you for the help. Much appreciated

I've been able to get mine from Asda (so far).

Hi 130396 ,

How did you get on?

Did you get your Mercury Pharma Liothyronine?

I've had issues in the past, which are usually actually down to the wholesalers.

Please let me know if you're sorted, or not?

😀

[130396 in reply to HappyHealthyGirl]

Hi

Yes all sorted for the time being .

[HappyHealthyGirl in reply to 130396]

Thanks for letting me know that you're OK now - glad to hear it!

[130396 in reply to HappyHealthyGirl]

Thank you so much for enquiring after me 🙂
