My Pharmacy is selling a product called Thyroid Riodine for under £40. I've been on this product for over 6 months and have gained a lot of weight, but it's only been about 5lbs at my end. My GP told me that it's a 'generic' product, so I'm not sure where my weight comes from, but I'm wondering if this could be a fake product that could be dangerous. I've been on it for over 2 months and it's only been about 5lbs at my end. Can I get a prescription to buy it over the counter? I don't want to get on a drugstore and see my GP's advice about this.

Riod works by replacing thyroxine (T4) with triiodothyronine (T3), an inactive T4 hormone that is made by the pituitary gland. When the pituitary gland produces more thyroid hormones, it releases more T3, leading to greater thyroid hormone production. This leads to increased production of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid peroxidase (anti-oxidant) in the body.
Thyroid hormones work by blocking the action of a chemical messenger, called iodothyronine (I4). I4 is in proteins in your body, including the thyroid. When you take thyroid medication, it causes your thyroid hormone levels to fall, leading to increased production of thyroxine (T4).
