ERFA too expensive

[Natalie55]

Hi everyone.

Up until now I was taking metavive LL. Still wasnt feeling well , mainly muscle weakness . My endo ( he is from spire hospital) wants me to try Erfa . I phoned pharmacy today and OMG! The price they quoted me was 300£ for 3mth supply with no guarantee that the price want go up later. I just can't afford it. Is the anything else I can take which is cheeper? Or from different suppliers ? I really don't know what to do . Any advise or suggestion would be greatly appreciated

ThyroidUK has a list of pharmacies who will dispense NDT with a prescription so you could try ringing round to see what others charge:

thyroiduk.org/tuk/treatment...

Other than that there is non-prescription Thai NDT which is much cheaper and many members get on well with. We can't name suppliers on the open forum so if you want details make a new post asking for information, the post will have to be closed but members can send you information by private message.

Thanks SeasideSusie, I will just do that if can't find anywhere cheaper.

I used to be on Erfa and with a prescription got mine through: buxtonandgrantpharmacy.co.uk/

Their prices in 2016 (the last time I ordered some from there) were competitive and definitely not as expensive as you've been quoted (£28.00 for 100 tablets). But I don't know if Erfa's generally gone up in price over recent years.....

Thanks HEA72, I will email them and see what they say.

Thank you for your advise . Just got erfa from the pharmacy you suggested. A lot cheeper then others, still doubled in price since you bought it but a lot better then other pharmacies . Thanks again 😀
