Allowing uk citizens to be prescribed the right thyroid medication.

We don’t all fall under feeling better onT4 Levothyroxine medication alone.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

T3 can still be prescribed to people if this initiated by a consultant endocrinologist in the NHS. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition asking the NHS to change their guidance, to make T3 more widely available or to carry out a review into the availability of T3, if that's something you'd like to see happen.

You'll have to give your full name in order to start a new petition.
