I`m thinking of maybe moving to Uruguay. Since I live without a Thyroid, I need to take Hormones.

The ones that I can take, without making me feel weird, are Tirosint (100 ug at the moment), they come from the USA, and all these 6 years since I live in Mexico, I can only get them in Switzerland, where I

originally come from. Does anyone know, or has an idea, if there`s a possibility to get them in Uruguay?

Thank you and have a great day!

Yes, it should be available in Uruguay, under the name levotiroxina sódica.

Tirosint and levothyroxine both contain the same active ingredient, levothyroxine sodium, and are used to treat hypothyroidism. However, Tirosint has fewer inactive ingredients, which may make it a better option for some patients with sensitivities or allergies.
