Morningside liothyronine 5mcg supply issues

I'm having problems to get Morningside liothyronine 5mcg. I have a regular script specifying Morningside Liothyronine 5mg which I take twice daily. Boots has been unable to get hold of it this month and their supplier is sending Viatris brand instead, which has mannitol that caused me serious problems in the past. It took me a long time to finally get the chance to have liothyronine and find a brand that suits me. I have checked with other local pharmacies and they cannot supply Morningside. I am anxious about taking another brand as I have reacted badly in the past. Does anyone know what is happening or have any suggestions on what to do? Thank you!

This happened to me, so GP agreed to prescribe Morningside 10mcg. As I take 15mcg per day, I just cut one with a pill cutter & put aside for next day. I have ‘Morningside only’ on my Lio script, due to adverse reactions to Roma.

Boots pharmacy said they might not have Morningside in stock anymore. I've tried a few other pharmacies and they don't have it as well. Do you know of any online pharmacies that could have it? Thank you

I’ve not had an issue with Boots (so far). I’m sure some members with knowledge of on line pharmacies will be along soon to advise…

Thank you, perhaps the issue is with the 5mcg one.
