Through consulting with a private UK based doctor, I have recently started to take Armour Thyroid
NDT
1 grain (60 mg) each tablet contains Levothyroxine 30mcg and Liothyronine 9mcg. Instructions are to take half a tablet twice a day.

Sourcing NDT medication
Hi, I’d appreciate anyone who can PM me with their current source for thyroid medication. I’m in the UK and managed to get Thyroid-s from a thailand shop a few years back, which was much better value than the US pharmacy I was using before that, but I’ve discovered they no longer exist. Hope you can

Bench mark blood tests before switching to NDT
My doctor is very sympathetic but forbidden to prescribe
NDT
by the local NHS Clinical Commissioning Group.

Please can someone message me with how to get
ndt
without prescription in the uk. I’ve been suffering on levo for 12 years and have forgotten what the real me actually feels like it’s been so long. My bloods are in the normal range so my doctor has no concerns but I’m desperate for help.

NDT to T3 & T4 - brands, and how to transition?
I'm assuming I would translate my current dose of 1.75 grain
NDT
into the equivalent T3 & T4 and start on that? I (perhaps unwisely) started on
NDT
as I was given the option of any treatment by a private GP and from my reading thought that was the best chance I had to get well.

Are some private endos prescribing NDT so they can keep you as a private patient?!
Is it maybe a cynical plan to keep you private as
NDT
is not available on the NHS whereas Liothyronine can be prescribed on the NHS if a good case is put forward for it?

Timings of NDT and iron supplements
The only way I can achieve this is if I squeeze in extra doses by reducing the time between
NDT
and iron, which would mean a three hour gap rather than the recommended 4 hours.

Synthetic Thyroid Meds just not suiting me
Hello all, I used to take Thiroyd
NDT
from Thailand. I went to their headquarters in Bangkok in late 2019 and was told that due to an outbreak of swine flu in the region, they had to stop manufacturing Thiroyd

T3 equivalent of NDT
Hello A very clever person on here worked out the likely mcg of T3 & T4, contained in 3.5 grains of
NDT
from Thailand. Unfortunately I've mislaid the post. I'm seeing my endo on Wednesday and I want to understand why he put me on such low doses of Synthetic T3 & T4 for eight weeks.

What is the recommended medication to start on please?
I'm having a telephone consultation with my endocrinologist tonight & after a lot of reading (on this site as well) I'm considering asking for
NDT
? This will be my first time being medicated so would really appreciate any advice from you?

Hydrocortisone before blood test
I’ve had a terrible time with 2 grains of
NDT
and have returned to using hydrocortisone at 5mg am 2.5 lunchtime alongside 1/2 armour at bedtime. 1/2 armour is all I can manage without crashing. The HC brings immediate relief.

Hashimoto flare up
I've upped my Vitamin D and one of the suggested from here was to stop my
NDT
for a while (i was taking 2 grains of Thyroid-S
NDT
) to relive myself from potentially having too much T3 in my body.

Ndt and iodine supplement?
I started treatment with
NDT
in t4 6 micrograms and t3 1.4 in December 2023. I tolerate it well and I'm happy about it! From my analysis done this month it turns out that my ft4 is 0.98 and ft3 is 2.69 and the tsh is 1.34... How do you find these analyses?

Why would my FT4 change?
My FT4 was 10 and I am taking 120mg a day of
NDT
, they did not measure TSH. What is an "ideal" FT4 level whilst on medication. Thanks D

commencing Armour NDT
Hi I am starting Armour as advised by a private Dr recommended via Thyroid UK Apparently from my bloods it appears I’m a poor converter and have been under treated. ( exactly what has previously been suggested on this site) My GP has only ever prescribed levothyroxine 50mcg since my diagnosis in

Thybon v Teva T3
I am awaiting a Levo prescription to 'add in', as I have had to stop taking ThyroidS
NDT
due to 'toxicity' type symptoms. (I have other health issues going on at the moment). Not sure whether the Levo will be different from the natural
NDT
T4, but I want to give it a go.

For anyone who is on T3 only... When did you realise you needed it?
She said she would recommend it after 3-6 months on
NDT
if I'm still unwell. I haven't had bloods done on
NDT
yet, I'm due to have them soon. I understand though that 2 grains is a fairly decent dose and I'd be surprised if I needed much higher? As I'm not a large person.
