Confirm completed yellow card for viatris

It could only be Roma capsules, you do have the option of opening them and mixing with a little water, they just taste like talc...I've been using the 5mcg for the last year but other than Tiromel I have nothing to compare them with as they are the only lactose free one I've been given
I felt pretty ropey when I first started on them as the endo had insisted I reduce both T4 and T3 but once I got back up to a decent level they seem to work ok 😏
Don't forget to fill out a yellow card for Viatris
I'd suggest cross checking the excipients on helvella fabulous Vade Mecum, as I have a vague memory that there is even some variation between Roma's 5 and 10mcg
The differences between the three Roma capsules (other than how much active ingredient they contain) is the addition of small amounts of an iron oxide and titanium dioxide to the capsules so as to make them visually distinctive.
Assuming you are getting these on prescription you should report them on a ‘yellow card (which is now an online form I think) so that they are withdrawn and other patients are not affected.
Read the Patient Information Leaflet for Roma capsules. It says you can, if needed, take the contents of the capsule out and take it with water. (Obviously a right pain if so not something to do if not necessary.)
helvella's medicines documents (UK and Rest of the World) can be found here:

helvella has created, and tries to maintain, documents containing details of all thyroid hormone medicines in the UK and, in less detail, many others around the world.

The UK document contains up-to-date versions of the Summary Matrix for tablets, oral solutions and liothyronine available in the UK.
I was on 30mg liothyronine viatris brand I was on 30mg thybon henning aday that’s when I was 0.18 & felt on top of the world . I had a brand change & I found a new brand viatris to try this is the result it clearly hasn’t got to my thyroid !!!! But was told by pharmacy at doctors surgery there wasn’t anything else for me to try so I knew I was having symptoms & tried desperately to stay on it & that is what happened how I got to TSH 48.90 but why didn’t it get to thyroid as I was originally told I cannot convert T4 to T3 so that’s why I’m on T3 since 2012 but this is the 3rd brand I’ve had trouble with ( but this one the worst it’s ever been ) but surely it should get straight to thyroid !!! I’m sorry for the long post x
