Compounded Thyroid Medication
Compounded T3 and T3/T4 Prescriptions, Delivered and Shipped Free Anywhere in Texas.
Getting a compounded thyroid prescription started works the same way no matter where in Texas you live. Your prescriber sends the order by fax, e-prescribe, or through our online transfer form, with the T3 or T4 amount and release form spelled out. A pharmacist reviews it and compounds it here in Plano, then we ship or deliver it anywhere in the state, or you can pick it up in person.

What Compounded Thyroid Medication Is
Most commercial thyroid tablets contain levothyroxine (T4), which the body converts into liothyronine (T3), the hormone that actually does the work. Commercial tablets come in a fixed ladder of strengths and lock any T3-to-T4 ratio, so when a prescriber wants a dose between those steps, a specific ratio, a slower-releasing T3, or a capsule without a certain dye or filler, compounding is the only way to get it. We prepare each capsule to your prescriber’s written order, matching the strength, ratio, and release speed they specify. This is general information, not medical advice; whether compounding fits your treatment is between you and your prescriber.
Some of Our Compounded Thyroid Products
Nothing on this list gets compounded until a prescriber orders it for a specific patient. The table below shows forms we commonly prepare, not a fixed menu.
| Product | Dosage Form | Strength | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liothyronine (T3) / Levothyroxine (T4) combination | Oral capsule | As per prescriber instructions | Both hormones in one capsule, combined at the ratio your prescriber writes |
| Liothyronine (T3) | Oral capsule, immediate release | As per prescriber instructions | T3 on its own, compounded to the exact amount ordered |
| Liothyronine (T3) | Oral capsule, sustained release | As per prescriber instructions | Releases gradually over the day instead of all at once |
| Liothyronine (T3) / Levothyroxine (T4) combination | Oral capsule, sustained release | As per prescriber instructions | Combination hormone prepared in a slower-release base |
| Levothyroxine (T4) | Oral capsule, dye-free and filler-selected | As per prescriber instructions | For prescribers who want T4 without a specific dye, lactose, or gluten-containing filler |
Strengths, ratios, and dosage forms are set by your prescriber. Compounded medications are prepared for a specific patient from a valid prescription.

What is compounded T3?
Liothyronine, known as T3, is the thyroid hormone your body normally converts from T4. We compound it into a capsule at the exact strength your prescriber writes, in either immediate release or a slower sustained release. Whether T3 belongs in your treatment plan is a conversation for you and your prescriber.
What is a compounded T3 and T4 combination capsule?
It’s a single capsule holding both hormones together, at whatever ratio your prescriber specifies. Commercial combination tablets lock that ratio along with the fillers used; a compounded version can carry a ratio that isn’t sold anywhere and leave out ingredients your prescription calls for.
Can compounded thyroid medication be made without dyes, lactose, or gluten?
Yes, when your prescriber asks for it. We choose the capsule shell and filler to match the prescription and can tell you which excipients were used. Mention any sensitivity to your prescriber so it gets written on the order.
Can I switch from my commercial thyroid tablet to a compounded capsule on my own?
No. Thyroid hormone works within a narrow range, and changing strength or form without your prescriber’s direction can throw that off. If a compounded option interests you, start that conversation with your prescriber.
How long does it take to prepare a compounded thyroid prescription?
Most prescriptions are compounded shortly after we receive and review them, then shipped or delivered anywhere in Texas, usually going out the next business day. A refill on a formula we’ve already made for you tends to move even faster.
