Anyone getting Nature Throid NHS

[mandy72]

my dr has agreed to prescribe providing i can proove he can legally doing it

he asked me to ask on groups for a pic of prescription and sticky pharmacy label (personal details blanked out, he just needs to see how its written)

he did type in nature throid on computor but nothing came up

That's brilliant if he has agreed to prescribe. No it wont be on his computer as the BTA don't approve of any NDT. These are instructions from Thyroiduk.org

He may not be so keen if he knows it is unlicenced. In the UK none of the NDT's are licence but the named patient above gives details. Usually your pharmacist can source it.

You can point out that Naturethroid has been used for 75 years and has never had an inconsistency (the BTA say all NDT is inconsistent).

I hope you are successful.

thank you

i mailed Tollesbury Pharmacy and got an instant reply giving the details the dr needs, ive printed i off and will drop off tomorrow

if that fails ill print off the patient named article

im hoping he can get it on the system as i logged onto my repeat script request page and it wasnt on there

Mandy, this correspondence between MHRA and Sheila Turner at TPA may help. NT is specifically named in the letter at the bottom. tpauk.com/forum/content.php...

When writing a script on a named patient basis I believe 'for hypothyrodism' should be written on the script.
