T3 Medication options
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi sorry for the second post of the day!!!
I am based in the UK and currently taking a combo of levothyroxine and liothyronine. The liothyronine gives me palpitations and disrupts my sleep but at the higher levels (around 20mg) seems to have a positive impact on my fatigue.
Other than NDT and Liothyronine, are there any other forms of T3 medication that are available on the NHS in the UK?
Thanks in advance

There is few other meds Thyrolar is a combo and I am not sure if it is in the NHS formulary. It may work better on you.
Also NDT (natural dessicated from a pig's gland) the names are Thyroid S, Thyroid W and Armour thyroid. These are available online. All of these contain T3 and T4.
Also you could break the T3 in half and take some in a.m. and then 7 hours later take the other half. It is powerful and it is not timed released so you could take it and cut it and take bits later.

Well if you were misdiagnosed, then in a way that is good news. I guess I know about so many of these meds because I could start a museum with all the ones I tried. LOL.
All kidding aside, Thyrolar (brand name used in USA), generic name is Liotrix. It is a T3 & T4 combo. I hope NHS would support this medication as it has been around a long time.
Stay well, and let us know what happens. Merry Christmas..

Yes I feel I've learnt so much about the condition over the past month it's strange how complex it is.
Will let you know what happens! Happy Christmas xx
