Still having problems getting Teva T 3

I took a paper prescription to the pharmacy which got me my last prescription but this time they have sent me Viatris or Viatra - not clear as labelling covering all but small print. Does anyone know anything about them or has maybe taken them? @helvella?

Can you comment

According to Helvella’s wonderful detailed lists

Viatris is Sigma Pharma……but that’s presumably the 5mcg tablets

If you have 20mcg tablets…..not sure if that’s still true as I don’t think Sigma Pharma make 20mcg

Would appear to contain mannitol

You should have a PIL leaflet supplied listening manufacturer and ingredients

It's true for both PL 50888/001 and PL 50888/002 - it is the confused branding that is the problem!

(There was a point at which the Viatris products seemed to have their own PL numbers but I suspect that was temporary and misleading.)

Thankyou. I’m nervous of trying it. I’m on Teva for suspected acacia sensitivity. Apart from the mannitol which as far as I know I’m ok with, there aren’t many suspect excipients in it.
