Update on production of Naturethroid & WP Thyroid

[waveylines]

RLC labs who produce Naturethroid & WP Thyroid posted on 5th February 2018 that they are producing Naturethroid in 1/2grain, 1grain & 1 1/2grain tablets. Still no sign of production of WP Thyroid. They are saying the delay was due to trouble sourcing their raw materials & cost hikes. They are fulfilling long back orders. And they state there is no change to the formulas nor are they going out of business.

Thanks waveylines. I wish they'd hurry up with the WP! I've been taking that since last summer and liked it, but have had to go back to Nature-Throid which I hadn't liked much before the summer, still don't like it much and the new batches are definitely slightly different.

Yes I really like WP too but am now shifting across to Acellas NP Thyroid. Bit nervous but Ive heard good reports of NP. Naturethroid did not suit me at all. I think its the fillers as Armour didnt work after they changed it......likewise Erfa.

Not sure why they are being so slow with the WP but I wonder if they sell more Naturethroid?

[Hidden in reply to waveylines]

So Erfa is still problematic then...? Such a shame after all the praise it got right after Armour was reformulated...!

Hope you do fine on NP Thyroid, it's supposedly a very good drug!

[Framboise in reply to waveylines]

Same here with Armour and ERFA, both excellent at one time and then not! I'm interested to know how you get on with Acella's NP, please will you let me know? I have a new endo who prescribes for me and I'm sure he'd be open to my trying it if WP doesn't come back soon or isn't the same as it was.

Thanks

Framboise,

Been on Acellas NP Thyroid over a week now. Absolutely fine. Am able to resume taking it sublingually as it dissolves easily.

I doubt I will go back to WP even if they do resume production. As you say it doesnt bode well given what happened to Armour & Erfa. Currently its a little cheaper too.

[Framboise in reply to waveylines]

Thanks for telling me about NP Waveylines, that's good to know. Do you get it on prescription? I do and might ask to switch to it. Sending you a PM about which pharmacy you get it from.

Hi I agree WP was a godsend to me but now I have had to go back on Naturethroid since WP isn’t available I find it to be be far inferior to previous Naurethroid. I feel very under medicated with Naurethroid now even though I have increased my dose!

[Framboise in reply to Shredder]

That's interesting Shredder, thanks for telling me. On the whole I feel much the same as usual during the day, but I'm slightly more tired in the mornings, my fingers are achy on my left hand (always an indicator something isn't quite right) and most of all I've been getting cramps in my toes, feet and legs again. So annoying and it doesn't bode well for the WP being the same as before, whenever it becomes available.

I managed to get hold of WP just after Christmas via a pharmacy recommended on thyroid UK I won't name them but I'm pretty convinced they are fake. I've put weight on, waking in the early hours and can't get back to sleep, feel very low etc.

[BadHare in reply to Jodypody]

Did you contact RLC or query the product with the pharmacy? If you provide them with the information on the bottle, they'll be able to verify whether it's genuine or not. I'm sure they'll be extremely interested if it isn't! rlclabs.com/contact.php

[Jodypody in reply to BadHare]

They weren’t dispense in the original bottle it arrived in the standard brown one

[helvella in reply to Jodypody]

I'd still refer back to he pharmacy that supplied them. They might know nothing of your issue.

[BadHare in reply to Jodypody]

You should still tell them as I'm sure they'd want to trace whoever's selling fake NDT under their brand name.
