Slow release T3 version, combined with levothyroxine

[adin]

I would be interested in your experience with mixing the two hormones( levo & slow-release T3). I take Tirosint first in the morning and after an hour, I also take t3 slow release and I don't know if it's correct like that, the doctor who prescribed them didn't give me more indications. It would be more convenient for me to take them all at once, but I'm afraid that the powder in the t3 capsule (the one that delays the absorption of t3) might not affect the absorption of levothyroxine. I order the t3 capsules from an international pharmacy in Germany and I did not receive instructions on how to take them from there either. I've been taking them for a while and I noticed that I feel better with them than with Thybon, the tests came out good, including tsh is not suppressed....and no anxiety.

I suspect that the slow release substance would indeed affect absorption of the levothyroxine. But I have no experience and that just seems a reasonable guess to start with.

I’ve edited your title to clarify - SR form - means slow release version. members may not recognise the term - SR form. Unless I’ve misunderstood. In which case edit again however you wish.
