As we can't name suppliers on the forum, any replies must be by Private Messages (also called Chat). Closing this post to replies to prevent any information being posted here. The poster might already have requested Private Messages.

To avoid being scammed by unscrupulous suppliers who we know contact members when requesting suppliers of thyroid meds, you are encouraged to contact a member of the Admin team to see if we have any feedback on any recommendations that you are sent. Please read the post linked to below and don't part with any money until you have checked any supplier information with myself or another Admin.

However, admins cannot make any recommendations themselves.

You will find few, if any, of the potential suppliers accept the best known and most trustworthy forms of payment such as PayPal and credit cards. The major payment companies are very wary of medicine suppliers.

If you are not within the UK, please make this clear. Some potential suppliers will only supply specific countries.

welcome to the forum

As this is your first post, suggest you write another with short outline of thyroid journey so far

It’s increasingly possible to get prescribed on NHS, though often starting via private consultation first to miss the long wait for referral

Here’s link for how to request Thyroid U.K.list of private Doctors emailed to you, but within the email a link to download list of recommended thyroid specialist endocrinologists who will prescribe T3

Ideally choose an endocrinologist to see privately initially and who also does NHS consultations

over 65,000 NHS prescriptions in last year in England

And increasing at roughly 1000 more every 6 months
