Is anyone getting Armour on prescription in Stroud?

My GP surgery is closing down and I need to find another surgery that will continue to prescribe Armour. Is anyone in the Stroud district getting Armour or other NDT on an NHS prescription? If so could you PM me with the name of the surgery please.

I am so worried that I may have to go back to Levothyroxine.

Mouse, ask around local pharmacies to see whether any practices prescribe Armour or other brands ie NatureThroid, WP and Erfa. The practices in the link below were prescribing NDT in 2013 but don't assume they continue to do so.

Hi Mouse, thanks for asking the question. It is an anxious time. I would also like to know the answer.

Thanks to a PM from Clutter pointing me to a spreadsheet that Helvella posted in 2013 I have managed to get an updated spreadsheet from NHS BSA which shows that Prices Mill Surgery in Nailsworth prescribed Armour in May 2015!

Thanks Mouse - that is encouraging. Rowcroft prescribed Cytomel. Lots of phone calls coming up I think.

That was a great signpost there to that sheet. My practice was shown on there for T3.
