Should I use Nature Throid past use by date etc?

I have some Nature Throid dated exp 3/21 does anyone know if it’s okay to use it, I know with a lot of meds it’s good for years later.

I heard a lot of Nature Throid has been recalled and is no longer available, is there some way of finding out if the stock I have is useless ie from a bad batch or was it that it wasn’t just quite as strong as it should be. .?

Thanks

It was said some batches lacked potency (although I read was said that had it been in the UK the difference was so minor it would not have been withdrawn) Many were taking it regardless with no issues, but some did report it being less effective.

I guess you can only try it, and you'll probably know pretty quickly if it's useless

Yes. as you should be using symptoms to dose NDT. Hence a weak batch you would just take a little more each week etc.
