T3! Any recommendations on where to buy T3 from EU using UK prescription? DM Please.

hey everyone,

After 10 years of trying I now have a prescription for T3 from an endocrinologist.

I used my local UK pharmacy for my first three months dose, but as the price was over £300, I am now looking for a cheaper alternative going forward.

I would very much appreciate recommendations for sourcing T3 from the EU using a UK prescription.

You can't.

The EU does not recognise UK qualifications - therefore no prescriptions written by UK doctors are valid inside the EU.

(A tiny number of doctors have EU prescribing rights but they are very rare.)

The answer most members take is to contact Roseway who can often help. They end up mostly receiving Thybon Henning 20 microgram tablets but there are other options.

I hope others can contribute from their experiences. I do not use them so have no experience. :-)

Which brand are you prescribed or dose size?

Chea[est way to buy with private prescription in the UK is to get Thybon Henning named on your prescription in 20mcg dose size. Then buy a cheap pill cutter and halve or quarter to required dose size.

5mcg & 10mcg dose sizes are much more expensive to buy than 20mcgs.

I’m on 5mcg twice a day but no particular brand was named. As I’m new to the T3 stuff I didn’t even consider the pill cutter option. Thank you for the recommendation.

Get prescription changed to 20mcg tablets

Then cut into 1/4’s to get 5mcg

Cut using pill cutter or sharp craft scalpel

Specifically 100 x 20mcg tablets, that’s a whole box, box splitting costs more I think.

You can’t use a UK prescription in the EU since Brexit and UK leaving the EU.
