I have taken both and actually prefer Cynomel! Ithink it works JUST as welkl if

not maybe a tad stronger.

Hi Louise,

I haven't started my Cynomel yet, still finishing up my Tertroxin, so

have no personal experience yet as to differences in potency. The

Cynomel label is in Spanish and says it contains " excipiente cbp " in

addition to the

T3. I tried goggling for details on the excipient, but didn't come up

iwth anything.

Hi Sol

Thanks for going to all that trouble! Unfortunately my Spanish is

rudimentary at best, but I'll have a go googling it as well. Val

mentioned that she thought Cynomel is stronger than Cytomel (don't know

about Tertroxin), so it sounds promising.

I remember you saying that your lactose intolerance had subsided so I

guess you've been tolerating the lactose in Tertroxin ok.

Thanks,

Louise

That is just saying that there is an added inert substance but it doesn't

say what the substance specifically is. " excipiente " means " excipient " and

the cbp normally stands for " cuanto baste para " . So, there is a filler or

diluter but it isn't say what it is specifically. Is there anything else on

the label?

Oops! In Spanish cbp would actually be " cantidad suficiente para " which

means " sufficient quantity for " . They are telling you the

base/filler/diluter is sufficient quantity for the meds.

Oh, I thought cbp might be an abbreviation or initials of a particular

excipient.

Nothing else on the label except dosing instructions, storage

instructions, mfr registration number, and mfr info.

Louise,

My lactose intolerance isn't subsided, it is gone. I tolerate milk,

cheese, goat milk, ice cream (oops, let the cat out of the bag there),

and can tolerate the lactose in homeopathic tablets too. It is ALL good,

the only thing I have to watch for in dairy is iodine and annatto coloring.

In my case, the lactose intolerance I had was probably due to

intestinal or systemic candida. I made a big effort to eliminate

candidiasis, which was apparently successful (at least in that I am no

longer lactose intolerant).
