Does anyone know how I can get Abdi Ibrahim levtiron in the UK?

Hi there

Does anyone know how I can get thyroxine from the Turkish company Abdi Ibrahim in the UK? I get prescribed thyroxine 50mcg on NHS but UK brands do not work for me. The only 2 brands I have come across that work for me are this brand from Turkey and Merck Euthyrox from Germany. Both of which I am now unable to find here in the UK. I have 40 days' supply left. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I am even thinking to get on a plane and go somewhere if that is what it takes. I recently posted about the Euthyrox but recently came across a little stash of the Abdi Ibrahim levotiron I had forgotten about and it works just great for me. Thank you

Have you tried, for example, Vencamil?

Currently only 100 microgram tablets but very easily splittable.

helvella's medicines documents (UK and Rest of the World) can be found here:

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. Includes descriptions of tablet markings which allow identification. Latest updates include all declared ingredients for all UK products and links to Patient Information Leaflets, etc.
