Hello everyone....I'm in the US, currently taking Naturthroid, however, my endo refuses to increase my dosage of 1/4 grain daily. I am interested in finding a legitimate online resource, no Rx required, where I can purchase Naturethroid 3/4 grain. If I can find the resource, the dosage will bring me up to one grain. I have been searching the net for a very long time to find a reputable online pharmacy....have seen companies listed, only to find that a Rx is required. Thanks so much for any information you can supply.
Believe I am being under medicated with Naturet... - Thyroid UK
Believe I am being under medicated with Naturethroid..I am in the US
You can purchase Naturethroid without prescription from <internet supplier> or <internet supplier>. I am in the UK & we have to buy ours from here. I prefer <first internet supplier> as it is slightly cheaper. Regards Vanessa

In countries other than the UK, different restrictions apply. For example, a USA-based supplier cannot supply anyone in the USA without a prescription.
Why do you have to buy it? I'm in the uk and my doc prescribes levothyroxine on prescription and as its a lifetime medication Its free.
Most UK GPs will not prescribe desiccated thyroid products. A combination of not knowing about them, excess cost, peer pressure, and other factors combine to make it often difficult to get prescribed.
Were a GP to prescribe it on an NHS prescription, as some do, then it is treated as any other NHS prescription - no charge in England if you have a Medex. "Lifetime" medication is not justification for a Medex - you need to be covered by one or more of the specific categories.

Thanks I'm new to this and my GP gave me the paperwork to fill in for free prescriptions and said I was covered due to my underactive thyroid.
I take Thyroid-S from Thailand, three grains. I love it! I doesn't taste bad at all sublingually and after 3 months at the correct dose feel all the difference. Plus, it is very inexpensive and no arguing with doctors. I spent far more going to doctors and begging them to give me a prescription which they refused to do, or refused to raise my dose, than I do on my one bottle per year of Thyroid-S. Check the internet and it's easy to find how to order it. I was afraid at first, as it seemed a bit shady and the US is cracking down, but I have ordered three times and never had a problem.
I would just like to chip in I've been buying both T3 and NDT off internet sites, it annoys me, but there doesn't seem to be a choice. I've never had a problem either.
I didn't feel much on NDT until I got up to 3 grains. My daughter takes 4 grains, I've read you can go up to 5 grains?
I have no idea why your doctor is keeping you on such a ridiculous dose. Can't you see someone else?
Good luck!
If you are in the US, can't you just get a different doctor/endo?
