What is the new drug name of slow release synthetic T3?

[LazyMoose]

Pill form, like Cytomel but slow release. Probably less shakes, headaches ect.

I would appreciate any info on this. Surprised it has not showed up here yet, many could benefit from it.

I asked two pharmas - had no clue yet.

thanks

You have to have a compound pharmacy make this for you. It isn't under a brand name. My endo has used a compound pharmacy with some of his patients using this, but it is very expensive.

I heard there was a new pill form, not compounded. Maybe not?

Yes, I believe Stella posted that there was a new slow release...

[compnet]

Sustained release tri-iodothyronine (SR-T3)

I see lots of mentions on google, particularly on forums.

The only thing I can find on a sustained (time) release T3 medicine, is having it done at a compound pharmacy. My endo has confirmed this and has prescribed this done for patients. He also said it is very costly.
