Does anyone know how I can get hold of NP Thyroid? I have a private prescription. All pharmacies that usually stock it are sold out.

HelloDoodle50, were you able to get your NP Thyroid? Is that a common issue in the UK(being able to find NP Thyroid) or was this a new issue? I also take it.

It is not a licensed medicine in the UK and it is not normally available at all.

Those who get hold of it largely acquire it from sources outside the UK.

I see, is that NDT in general or the NP Thyroid brand? Thank you for the response.

Welcome to the forum. Are you a UK resident Italia7, and do you have a thyroid condition?

Thank You! I have hypothyroidism and no I am not a UK resident, but will be moving to Europe and the UK is the only place I have found with my research(Online for now) that I can find that dispenses my brand of NDT, NP Thyroid.

NP Thyroid is made in the USA. For a UK pharamcy to supply you, they would be first importing it from USA to UK, and then exporting it to you in Italy.I would think it better to look for a US pharmacy that will ship it directly to you in Italy.

Thank you for the response, that has been tricky to find...so my thought was to just travel to the UK each 3-6 months(not sure how much can be dispensed at a time in UK) Not ideal at all, but at this point I am just exploring any options available.
