Hello Andre and Listers,
You're lucky that your country has available slow-release T3.  I know 
in some countries, that is impossible to get.  In the U.S. it is 
difficult, expensive and not covered by insurance.  Fewer pharmacies 
are doing any compounding.  Where I live in central Missouri, near a 
city close to 100,000, there was only one pharmacy that did 
compounding and they stopped doing so.  There is a compounding 
pharmacy in St. Louis and I might consider ordering from them.

I'd be curious to hear from others who are using slow release 
T3.  And if most are using a T4 product at the same time.  Best regards,
Susan
