Cytomel or Tiromel T3...which are better please?

[diagnosed2013]

Which brands are better...tiromel is one listed & cytomel I think was the other one. Any help much appreciated

The best one is the one that suits you. The fillers are all different, although the active ingredient is always the same (T3), and different people react differently to different fillers. I'm afraid you have to try them to find which one suits you best. Although, frankly, these days we have to take what we can get. There's rarely a choice.

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 so that might eventually transfer to getting T3 on NHS

The brand name "Cytomel" is used (legally) for at least two very different products. It is also used very widely as if it were a generic name for liothyronine (T3).

Very often, people have little choice about which product to get and end up simply accepting the one, or one of a few, they can obtain. Few have experience of more than a very small number of products.
