Please could anyone help me with obtaining my medication. I have been on L Thyroxine Henning and Thybon Henning Liothyronine. I have been on both of these for over 15 years now and can longer get them in my local pharmacies. I use this brand because they are lactose and gelatin feee and seem to suit me personally after trying different brands. Unfortunately, not being able to source them my last TSH level was 47 and I’m feeling so fatigued and poorly. I had private surgery booked and this had to be cancelled because of my levels. If anyone knows of anywhere in the CO10 where they are able to source this I would be very grateful to hear from you.
Thank you.

Vencamil could be a possible option, is lactose free and usually well tolerated. Currently only available in 100mcgs but will be released in other doses later this year.

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.
I highly recommend viewing on a computer screen, or a decent sized tablet, rather than a phone. Even I find it less than satisfactory trying to view them on my phone.
helvella - Thyroid Hormone Medicines - UK
The UK document contains up-to-date versions of the Summary Matrixes for levothyroxine tablets, oral solutions and also liothyronine available in the UK.
