Class 1 + Thyroid Medication

Hey PPruners,

I'm hoping to get a Class 1 so I can get my ATPL(H). I am trying to find out whether I'm even applicable for a Class 1 medical before I make the booking etc.

Google hasn't helped so far specifically and nor has my Doctor!
I am 'hypothyroid' and take a mixture of Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3) to make me normal. I know the FAA approves the taking on Thyroxine on it's own as fine and if you take Triiodothyronine, it's also approved on an individual basis. Does EASA/CAA have a similar stance?
