On my last post l was upset that l was denied another NHS prescription for Armour thyroid, l have been to see my doctor and he is as upset as me that he has been told he cannot prescribe Armour on the NHS for myself and another 2 of his patients he has said he can prescribe it on a private prescription and he will get it in for me cost price.
I today went 2 chemists to ask how much my Armour would cost it is,
100 30mg £251.95
100 60mg £277.31
Doctor has offered it to me for
100 30mg £167.96
100 60mg £184.97
I know l can persue this with pals and he is willing to prescribe this under the NHS with their say so.
I have decided not to line the pockets of whoever these greedy companies are and buy my own NDT from abroad.
I am not to sure at the moment if l will stick to Armour or try the NDT's from Thailand as they are the cheapest so l may as well start there, any advice would be much appreciated.

It's worth checking prices from several of these places.
When I had a private prescription I bought Nature-Throid from one of these. Helpful and quick turnaround.
You will need to check what wording is needed on the prescription, then ask your doctor to write the prescription that way.
I understand that Armour is more expensive than some of the other NDTs, so it may be worth looking at prices of others. Nature Throid and WPThroid are less allergenic.

Please read my post from yesterday as l have sent a picture of the letter given to me by my gp, although it says North East Essex my gp says it is nationwide.
