Primary Care Trust’s Refusal to Fund Armour Thyroid

Many heads of Primayr Care Trusts are refusing to fund natural thyroid extract, based on the United Kingdom Medicines Information Q & A Guidelines. Many of the statements made by UKMi are misleading and in parts, incorrect. Primary Care Trusts are sending out wrong information to Doctors and patients alike because they are copying the Q & A from UKMi and this needs correction. If you have a similar problem, you could use the letter in the link below, amending it to suit your personal circumstances.

Thanks for posting.

I have removed the actual letter as it was far too long for people to scroll down and they can find it via the link. :)

For clarification, this is a suggestion, from a different thyroid charity, for a letter you could use .

What a great reply from Dr. P. I've just sent it on to a doctor friend of mine. Just hope he will read it. Thanks for that.

Sorry about that. I wasn't referring to the Armour Thyroid problem, but to the Professor Weetman article. Apologies if there was some confusion there.
