Details of the only UK Liothyronine product and a couple of non-UK products are all available here:

thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/treatm...

Details of most UK medicines are also available here:

All UK prescription medicines are classed as gluten-free but are NOT necessarily wheat-free.

Can't understand how a medicine can be classed as gluten free if it contains wheat unless the wheat starch is codex?

Help me out here Rod if you can.

T3 ingredients manufactured by Mercury Pharma Group are as follows: -

Lactose BP

Maize starch BP

Acacia powder BP

Sodium chloride BP

Magnesium stearate BP

Industrial methylated spirit BP - Yikes!!

Purified water BP

It was one of the reasons I switched to NDT!

Trouble is, how many know the ingredients of, for example,Opadry White or Opadry II as present in two out of the three best known desiccated thyroid products?

There comes a point at which scrupulous honesty by a company (maybe they wipe moulds out with an industrial alcohol and the odd molecule might be detectable?), does the company a disservice and makes them want to hide things in future.
