In an ideal world, everyone would get the exact thyroid medication that they need on prescription from their GP, endo. private practitioner etc. Whether that be for a short term trial, or for long term quality of life.
Unfortunately, in the UK at least, this all too often doesn't happen. We know that members of this community frequently end up resorting to obtaining their thyroid medications from non-prescription sources.
UK law does allow UK citizens to obtain medications without prescription, but only from sources outside of the UK. (If you are in the UK, you cannot legally source prescription medications from within the UK without a prescription).
Unfortunately, this creates opportunities for unscrupulous people to scam us. 💸
Scammers take your money, but never supply the medications you've ordered.
Or they may even send fake medications.

💊 If you are looking for a reliable source, you can write a post asking for recommendations from other members.
Your post will be closed to replies by an admin, to comply with forum posting guideline:
28. Do not post advertisements, links or information of any sort whatsoever, on where or how to obtain UK prescription only medications without prescription. healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...
The admin will emphasise in the closing post comment, that any recommendations MUST be sent to the poster by PM (private message / Chat) only. So sit back and wait for other members to contact you by message with their suggestions.

⚠️ IMPORTANT! When you receive a message with a recommendation, please do not assume it is genuine!
Scammers are joining the forum on a very regular basis and messaging members with their assertions that they have successfully purchased xyz medication from zyx source.
First, do check the profile of the member that sent you the message. (You can find their profile by searching for their name in the member list here healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...
Are they a long term member with an active forum posting history? (Just be cautious and check with admin)
Or are they a recently joined member with little or no posting history? (Do be very suspicious and check with admin)
**** Scammers even join our forum and post a 'fake' story about their thyroid experiences, that may also include mention of self sourcing their thyroid meds. This is to encourage members to ask them where they purchase their medication without prescription.****

Once you have what you hope is a genuine recommendation, you are strongly encouraged to message an Admin to ask whether the admin team have any feedback on the source you've been given.
Please also tell admin the member name/s that messaged you so that we can check them out if necessary.
Admins are not allowed to recommend sources, but we can tell you what, if any, feedback we've received about the source you've been given.
⚠️ Don't part with your much needed money until you are as sure as you can be that the source is genuine.
