    From other people in the UK posting here it doesn't seem like testing free T3 and free T4 is standard?

    Med options overall are:
    1. synthetic T4 only
    2. Synthetic T4 + synthetic T3 (in the US it's called Cytomel, not sure in the UK what it's called)
    3. a natural dessicated med that contains both T3 and T4. In the US they sell Armour and Nature Thyroid, in Canada it's Erfa's Thyroid, but not sure what is available elsewhere.

    This link looks like it's helpful!
