tablets to capsules

[Pixielula]

last month I went to collect my perscription and found my usual liothyronine tablets had been changed to capsules same this month, my only thought is maybe they are cheaper? Has this happened to anyone else?

Do you know what brand they have changed from and to?

[helvella Administrator in reply to Regenallotment]

They will have changed to Roma!

Which can be less expensive - they are on a one-for-one basis, but if there is any change between, say, splitting a 20 and getting two 10 microgram capsules, it might not be!

Luckily I don’t split doses i take 40mcg in the morning and 20 before bed

Morning side to Roma

Wether they are cheaper depends on what dose tablets you have and how you take you T3…..as single dose or split doses

Have you noticed any changes in symptoms since starting on Roma Capsules

Request new blood test 2-3 months after changing brand

Some people find Roma capsules don’t work as well for them. Others find they are ok, if they open capsules and take the powder out and take that on its own
