Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Anybody know what a doc writes on a prescription when they order timed release T3 from a pharmacy? e.g. 5 mcgs. timed release T3 etc. etc. I need a sample script that would be accepted by a compounding pharmacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Joann, That sounds like it's for cytomel. Is it?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 My compounding pharmacy does the SR T3 in 7.5mcg increments - I have had the following strengths over the years of trying 's Protocol ((didn't work)) - 7.5mcg, 15mcg, 22.5mcg, 30mcg, and 37.5mcg. These are made to take every 12 hours - so you want the sig (directions) of the presciption to be: ut dict - as directed BID - twice daily or Q12hr - every 12 hours...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 it's compounded T3 - the SR stands for slow-release. It's working well for me because I tried Cytomel and felt like I was having a heart-attack before I knew about the whole AF thing. Now that I'm taking HC I wanted to try Cytomel and Armour again but I'm still too chicken. I'll stick with these until I'm feeling better. Joann > > Joann, > > That sounds like it's for cytomel.
