Changing NDT.

Hi. I'm after a bit of advice. I'm coming to the end of my last Thiroyd tablets & will be changing to Thyroid S. Can anyone tell me if I can just start taking the same dose of thyroid S as I'm on Thiroyd, or do I have to start low & build up?

Hello Print :

I would think you can do a straight swop - the breakdown of T3 and T4 as detailed on the packaging maybe slightly different - but I wouldn't think so different as to need to make dose adjustments -

Just check what the breakdown difference is, for your own piece of mind and if not sure detail the two sets of T3 and T4 on here and people will advise accordingly.

When I changed from thiroid to thyroid S I reduced the dose by 1/4 grain believing thyroid S to be a little stronger, however after a week I needed to increase back up to my previous dose. Over all I feel better on thyroid S.

That's a relief. Sounds nice & easy. Thank you.

Are you taking the old Thyroid S or the new Thyroid S? OR are the new and old versions basically the same?

Hi. I've no idea. I'm assuming the mix is the same. The batch is from October 2020.
