Help! Thyrogold out of stock!

[northsix]

I’ve just been online to order ThyroGold and the 300mg is out of stock. I have enough left for 10 days and have no idea when stocks will be replenished, although I have messaged Tammy to find out. I have some left over Levo but other than that I have no idea what to do next. Any ideas gratefully received ………. Many thanks x

No other product appears to have the same doses and hence T4 and T3 content. Which makes an exact equivalent impossible. As well as the other ingredients!

There is a limited number of desiccated thyroid products and finding a reliable source means several products are not viable options.

It would help if you added some history and your country to your profile. I've had to go through several posts to start to appreciate your story.

helvella's medicines documents (UK and Rest of the World) can be found here:

helvella - Thyroid Hormone Medicines

helvella has created, and tries to maintain, documents containing details of all thyroid hormone medicines in the UK and, in less detail, many others around the world. There is now a specific world desiccated thyroid document.

I highly recommend viewing on a computer screen, or a decent sized tablet, rather than a phone. Even I find it less than satisfactory trying to view them on my phone.

helvella - Thyroid Hormone Medicines - UK

The UK document contains up-to-date versions of the Summary Matrixes for levothyroxine tablets, oral solutions and also liothyronine available in the UK. Includes descriptions of tablet markings which allow identification. Latest updates include all declared ingredients for all UK products and links to Patient Information Leaflets, etc.

Thank you so much hellvella, and apologies, I had no idea that I should add more detail to my bio. I will get on it. I’ve had a quick look at the tables you have complied and I will need to devote some time today to going through it properly and then see what I can do. Keeping everything crossed that I can find something. Hopefully Tammy will respond with some good news… x

You are neither the first, nor the last, to find they don't have enough of their current thyroid hormone - and can't readily get hold of any more.

Where feasible, it's always a good idea to have some stock. But this isn't always possible. Maybe can't afford to. Maybe the product disappears. Maybe they had only recently found a good product.

Tammy asks you not to bulk buy so I’m not sure how readily she can replenish her stock. I usually buy enough for two months after that it tips over £200! I think I’m going to have to find an alternative closer to home if possible, especially if ThyroGold disappears 😱. I will let you know …. x
