Liothyronine suppliers

hi there. My endocrinologist has suggested I try Liothyronine due to my low levels of T3. Unfortunately he is not able to give me an nhs prescription, but is willing to support and continue to monitor me if I were to source this myself.

For anyone with experience in this I’d be really grateful for your recommendations and how you have found the treatmen? Is it worth it? I’ve been advised to start on a very low dose 5mg if possible or to cut the tablets.. I know it’s very expensive so need to ensure I find an honest and reliable source.

many thanks!

As requested replies with any information by PM only as we are not allowed to name sources/doctors in the group. This post will be closed to further replies.

When you receive a message with a recommendation, please do not assume it is genuine.

Scammers are joining the forum on a very regular basis and messaging members with their assertions that they have successfully purchased xyz medication from zyx source.

First, check the profile of the member that sent you the message. Are they a long term member with an active forum posting history? Or are they a recently

joined member with little or no posting history?

Once you have what you think may be a genuine recommendation, please message a forum admin to ask whether the admin team have any feedback on the source you've been given.

Admins are not allowed to recommend sources, but we can tell you what, if any, feedback we've received about the source you've been given.

⚠️ Don't part with your much needed money until you are as sure as you can be that the source is genuine.

Scammers often join the forum and post a 'fake' story about their thyroid journey, that includes mention of self sourcing their thyroid meds. This is to encourage members to ask them where they purchase their medication without prescription.
