Hector12,

You can buy Armour and other brands of NDT without prescription. Armour is the most expensive of the American brands but NatureThroid and WP are in short supply and may have caused a knock-on shortage of NP and Erfa. Thyroid-S and Thiroyd (Thai NDT) is cheaper than American and Canadian NDT.

If synthetic Levothyroxine didn't suit you what makes you think Dithyron will be okay? Dithyron is okay for people who are good on synthetic T4 and T3 if the proportions in the tablet suit them.

Do you mean you have been in touch with a bricks and mortar Greek pharmacy or the online Greek pharmacy with 'supply' in it's name? If the latter, I wouldn't hand your money over. They have orders outstanding for UniPharma T3 since April although they are still taking new orders and money from people.
