Agnesb30,

Natural Dessicated Thyroid (NDT) is a combination of T4 and T3 derived from dried pig thyroid. It's an alternative thyroid medication to Levothyroxine but isn't licensed for use in the UK so members using it have private prescriptions or buy online and self medicate.

It was the only thyroid medication until about 1960's.
