Frozen T3

Hi guys,

I’ve had some T3 in my freezer for a few years as an emergency back up measure in case my prescription is withdrawn.

Have any of you used defrosted T3 successfully, or should I bin it?

Should be ok. Try it and see. :)

I've never frozen T3 myself, but I've heard of people that have. And they didn't seem to have any problems.

Thanks Greygoose, that is reassuring. I'll test it out!

How are they packed? In a pot? In a blister pack?

I’ve got pots and blister packs, both in boxes and wrapped in plastic.

OK, well make sure they are completely defrosted and at room temperature and dry before opening them. It's important that no moisture gets to the tablets.

T3lover,

I've read of members freezing NDT but not T3 tablets. I think the tricky part is the thawing and not allowing condensation to wet the tablets.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on as this could be a way forward for others.

There is no need to freeze T3, it will keep for 2 plus years past sell by date if kept out of direct sunlight. Freezing can cause damage due to moisture levels.
