Armour V's Na turethyroid??

[Crlnfly]

Hi can I ask if anyone has changed to naturethyroid from Armour please?

The cost of Armour has increased and my doctor will prescribe Nature thyroid as an alternative , to save me money, but I do NOT want to go backwards with my health as I find armour great ( except for the price!) Just wondering if anyone has made the swap?? ☺☺

I am sorry I cannot answer your question (as I have not made the switch myself), but you are the second person today to say the same thing: that is, that you are doing great on Armour, but that it's becoming too expensive.

I wonder if Armour has somehow been reformulated again...???

thecat346, price hikes occur without reformulation.

[Hidden in reply to Clutter]

I know, I was referring to the fact that no less than two members have said today that they find Armour great...something I have not seen since it was reformulated. That is why I wondered if the new manufacturer (Actavis) has somehow reformulated it, or if these two members just happen to feel fine on it anyway...

Crinfly, many people have switched to NatureThroid succesfully. The only way to tell for sure whether it suits you is to try it.

Hi clutter, yes that's what I am going to do, collected my armour today at the chemist and there was a 40 euro price hike!!

I spoke to pharmacist so he is going to order the nature thyroid for me and I will change over next month. Just dissapointed and nervous really as I was flying on the armour after 10 years of levo, so fingers crossed, I know there's no one answer for everyone and it's all trial and error, but I will keep ye posted xx

Crinfly, can I ask where you are (I am asking as you are referring to the raise in price in € rather than pounds)?

[Crlnfly in reply to Hidden]

I am in Ireland

[Hidden in reply to Crlnfly]

OK, I see...I keep forgetting Ireland is in the € zone...

Crlnfly, I am already on Naturethroid, tried Armour years ago and didn't get on with it. I buy my supplies from abroad, was wondering if you get a prescription from your NHS doctor or private. i wasn't aware that you get a pharmacist to order for you?

I have changed to Naturethroid from Armour last year, felt better instantly. I was told the fillers in NatureThroid are more natural. I would certainly recommend them.
