I send my sister her t3 in the mail all the time. I am not really concerned

about mailing meds and I doubt the PO is, either, unless it is a controlled

substance, which t3 is not. And even then they just send you a warning notice

and you never hear from them again.

But if you are truly worried, you can always use FedEx.

Kathleen. you got more guts than I do. I wanted to give you a heads up about doing this. My cousin has worked at the post office for 15 years and so I just called and asked her about it, she said no it isn't ok to mail thyroid medication...because though it may be over the counter in Mexico and legal for a pharmacy to send it to someone, it is not OTC in the US and requires a prescription. In the US Cytomel/cynomel requires a prescription. She gave me this website page so be careful, she wasn't sure what the penalty was if caught.http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/601.htm601Mailability12.12 Drugs12.12.1 Over-the-Counter DrugsOver-the-counter drugs are medicines that can be obtained without a prescription. Over-the-counter drugs may be mailed when all applicable federal, state, and local laws, such as the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970 and the Consumer Product Safety Commission requirements, are followed.12.12.2 Prescription DrugsPrescription drugs are licensed medicines that require a written order by a medical doctor or pharmacist before they can be obtained. Prescription drugs, including those that contain controlled substances, may be mailed by drug manufacturers or their registered agents, pharmacies, or other authorized dispensers as permitted by 21 CFR 1307.12 or in compliance with any regulation of the Food and Drug Administration or other applicable law.12.12.3 Controlled SubstancesControlled substances are any anabolic steroid, narcotic, hallucinogenic, stimulant, or depressant drug in Schedules I through V of the Controlled Substances Act, 21 USC 801 and 21 CFR 1300. Controlled Substances may be mailed by drug manufacturers or their agents, pharmacies, or other authorized dispensers when distribution is lawful under 21 USC 801 and 21 CFR 1300 and if the mailer or the addressee meets one of the following conditions:a.The mailer or the addressee is registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).b.The mailer or the addressee is exempt from DEA registration in performing official duties such as military, civil defense, and law enforcement personnel.12.12.4 Packaging and MarkingsSecurely package all mailable drugs so that the contents cannot become damaged or dislodged during mailing. Follow the general packaging instructions in 601.1.0 through 601.8.0. Do not identify the nature of the contents on the outside of the mailpiece.12.12.5 Return of Prescription DrugsMailers may use merchandise return service to return prescription drugs for purposes of drug recalls; voluntary manufacturer withdrawals; and dispensing errors such as incorrect drug, dosage, or strength, as permitted by 21 CFR 1307.12 or other applicable law. The mailpiece must be addressed to the manufacturer or its registered agent. Manufacturers or their registered agents must furnish mailing containers to their customers for the purpose of mailing back the identified drugs. Manufacturers or their registered agents must use merchandise return service (see 507.11.0) with First-Class Mail or Priority Mail for these mailpieces. Manufacturers or their agents continue to be responsible for maintaining records in compliance with any regulation of the Drug Enforcement Administration and/or the Food and Drug Administration.12.12.6 Mailing StandardsIf distribution of a controlled substance is lawful under 21 USC 801, et seq., and any implementing regulation in 21 CFR 1300, et seq., the USPS considers such distribution by mail to constitute the mailing of matter not outwardly or of its own force dangerous or injurious to a person's life or health and accordingly mailable, subject to these standards:a.The inner container of any package containing controlled substances is marked and sealed under the applicable provisions of the Controlled Substances Act (21 USC 801, et seq., and any implementing regulation in 21 CFR 1300, et seq.) and placed in a plain outer mailing container or securely overwrapped in plain paper.b.If the mailing includes prescription drugs containing controlled substances, the inner container is also labeled to show the prescription number and the name and address of the pharmacy, practitioner, or other person dispensing the prescription.c.The outer mailing wrapper or container is free of markings that indicate the nature of the content.12.13Drug Paraphernalia12.13.1 Definition and ExamplesIt is unlawful to use domestic or international mail to transport drug paraphernalia.

>so be careful, she wasn't sure what the penalty was if caught.

On the rare occasion I post anyone meds to help them out if they are

awaiting delivery I don't put a letter or sender address in with them,

that way if there was a penalty they wouldn't know who to send it to!

I would consider using UPS instead of U.S. Mail.
