Tanyaking, Your doctor should prescribe 4.5 x 65mg WP tablets. One grain (65mg) WP contains 38mcg T4 and 9mcg T3.

just a little thought , if your endo--'specialist' -- is ASKING you what the meds consist of [ exact ingredients & quantities ] that would raise immediate concerns for me , the main 1 being the HE should be the professional - he should have the training - he should have the knowledge === and if he hasn't HE would have to check out for his own self . in my personal opinion ANY one from the medical profession that blindly prescribes meds to a patient without knowing the consequencies and possible outcomes is nothing short of a snake oil salesman -----if he dosnt know whats in the meds how could he manage your further treatment - after all the meds can and are going to effect YOU one way or the other . as I say this is just my personal opinion ....alan x

Alan, Tanya's doctor has asked for information about WP before prescribing (presumably at Tanya's request) because UK doctors are NOT taught about NDT at med school.

clutter , point taken ,but, I feel that it is the doctors responsibility to know/find out this information before ever prescribing ---- what if the patient had made a mistake in their info and the doctor had prescribed on that basis ?....alan x

Thank you clutter,my Endo wrote too my dr to prescribe wp and she did but I only had the details of the one grain ones and as I now take 5 grains a day they are only lasting a few weeks so I need to find out the consonants of the 4 grains and she will write that on the prescription for me when I see her on Monday....and my follow up with my Endo is July..... I feel extremely blessed after 24 years of hell with thyroxine I'm able too get support with NDT... Xxx
