Tirosint Capsules or Solution

[Pink-Flamingo1]

Hi

I don't know if anyone can help me. I wondered if anyone is taking Tirosint capsules or the oral solution. I recently had an appointment with the endocrinologist at the hospital to discuss medication. He said that any medication that is on the British National Formulary is available to patients in the UK. I saw that Tirosint capsules are on there and was excited to try them, but when I asked my doctor they said they weren't available, however I have heard that some people have been prescribed them on the NHS.

I have been on the oral solution for the past week but had an allergic reaction yesterday as it causes a burning sensation in my throat and chest. I don't have any medication to take today and am looking for a supplier urgently. I know Roseway labs supply Tirosint capsules but they require a private prescription. I just wondered if anyone is getting them on the NHS and if so which pharmacy or supplier do you get them from.

Thank you!

Hi Slow Dragon, Thank you very much for the information this morning. It was very useful. I spoke to my doctor about it this morning and he has made me an appointment for me to meet with the endocrinologist so I can discuss all medication options. I doubt I will get Tirosint but perhaps they can find something similar. Thanks very much!😊
