medication brand anxiety

[Thyroidoverit]

hi I have medication brand anxiety and I’ve been used to taking Morningside 5 mg, none of the chemist near me have this and they have given me Tillomed the only reason I’m asking here is because I was wondering if anybody else has taken this brand obefore and have they had any reactions from taking it I am unable to take any of the pink brands due to feeling dizzy and shortness of breath when taking them? thanks in advance thanks in advance

welcome to the forum

Are you in the U.K.

I don’t think we have heard of Tillomed T3 before?

I have tagged

Can you add photo of this Tillomed new brand of 5mcg T3?

We haven’t heard of it before

What’s the ingredient list too?

[Thyroidoverit in reply to SlowDragon]

Hi I don’t ha e the box with me but this is the patient leaflet from online

Ingredient list

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Thyroidoverit]

that looks like incorrect link

Carbimazole is to treat HYPERTHYROID and will block thyroid gland making thyroid hormones

You said you were given liothyronine 5mcg by Tillomed?

[Buddy195 Administrator]

I can only tolerate Morningside Lio but understand that 5mcg can be hard to source. GP agreed to put ‘Morningide only’ on prescription and stated I can have 10mcg which I cut in half with a pill cutter.

[Thyroidoverit in reply to Buddy195]

Thank you for replying, I’ll will check to see if they have larger milligrams and then speak to the doctors about getting another prescription

[Thyroidoverit]

They also have milpharm brand but I’m scared to take them because they are pink, I can’t get Morningside anywhere in any MG

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Thyroidoverit]

milpharm brand

Don’t think that’s liothyronine either

[Thyroidoverit in reply to SlowDragon]

What is liothyronine?

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Thyroidoverit]

Liothyronine is T3

Morningside 5mcg - we are assuming you meant liothyronine

Please tell us what you are diagnosed with

[Thyroidoverit in reply to SlowDragon]

Over active thyroid

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Thyroidoverit]

So you are looking for Carbimazole to treat HYPERTHYROID - Graves’ disease

Liothyronine is for HYPOTHYROID patients

[Thyroidoverit in reply to SlowDragon]

Yes, have I posted in the wrong topic?

[SlowDragon Administrator]

Looking online Morningside make Carbimazole

So this underlines exactly why we ask you fill in profile info before first posting

I think I have filled it in now

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Thyroidoverit]

Helpful to add more in your bio

Diagnosis and current medication and age

Thyroid and Vitamin test results useful as well

[Buddy195 Administrator in reply to SlowDragon]

Thankyou for alerting us SD.

Apologies Thyroidoverit i thought you were asking about Morningside Liothyronine (for hypothyroidism)

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Buddy195]

I don’t think we have ever had a post about a brand of Carbimazole

All posts that mention Morningside that I have ever seen refer to liothyronine/T3

healthunlocked.com/search/p...

Just underlines why it’s so important to have diagnosis information on profile

Hello Thyroidoverit :

So you are being prescribed an Anti thyroid drug to semi-block your own new daily T3 and T4 thyroid hormone production - so presume your are dealing with hyperthyroidism and an excess of thyroid hormones.

Have you been diagnosed or waiting on antibody blood tests ?

If you want any help with explanations of a diagnosis and / or blood test results - we can do that - and hopefully you will soon feel more comfortable -

and all the AT drug does is simply ' buy you time ' and semi blocks your new own daily thyroid hormone production while we wait for your immune system to calm back down again and hopefully your thyroid revert o normal without the need for any drugs.

[Thyroidoverit in reply to pennyannie]

I’ve been on and off of carbimazole now for 20 years I’ve always had either accord or Morningside just always fool awful on the pink ones and that’s what I can get, Milpharm.

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Thyroidoverit]

Are you regularly retesting vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

What vitamin supplements are you taking

Dose should be adjusted by Ft4 and Ft3 results……never by TSH

[pennyannie in reply to Thyroidoverit]

Oh - what have you been diagnosed with ?
