Hi everyone,
I have a NHS prescription for Thybon Henning only liothyronine and liquid levo thyroxine. Tesco ( Lincoln ) has been ordering these in for me for over four years.
For the past couple of months Tesco has been unable to supply the liquid levo and I've been getting a separate prescription from my gp and getting it filled at a local Boots store. This month Tesco were unable to obtain either levo or lio and advised me to take the prescription to Boots. I went to Boots and they assured me that they could obtain both.
On collecting them this morning, I found that I had not got Thybon Henning lio but four small bottle of Sigma Pharma lio. No real surprise but annoying! After being assured it was fine and me refusing to accept it, I went back to Tesco to ask them to keep trying to obtain it. Tesco then told me that there supplier is no longer able to obtain the Thybon Henning Lio. They were unsure what the situation is with the liquid levo.
I don't understand the problem with the liquid levo. This keeps on happening. I can have any brand although I have always been given Zentiva. I understand that there are eight or nine different brands, how are they all unavailable to Tesco at the same time?
I would be grateful if anyone can advise me where I can obtain Thybon Henning lio and liquid levo regularly on an NHS prescription? I don't know anything about on line pharmacies. Is that option more feasible?
Also, I visit Germany regularly. Is there any way of obtaining Thybon Henning there with a UK prescription? If so, what would it cost and how do I go about it?
Thanks for your help in advance.
