Thyroid s different

[Brightness14]

I have been taking Thyroid s for about seven years now, always from the same supplier.

After receiving my latest batch the pills have changed colour. They have always

been a brown shade now they are pale green/cream, they are also smaller. The Batch Number

is T22006.. These also taste and smell different.

The batch prior to these was received on 5/10/21 TA 21015 and these were the normal colour

size etc.

My question is this has anyone taking these noticed a difference? I am still taking the old

batch at present.

Hello Brightness

Yes this has been well documented on thyroid website help lines:

The majority of those taking the new production of Thyroid S don't appear to have found any change in the actual strength medication -

I too am about start with the reformulated tablets.

Hi when you say reformulated what exactly has changed and do you know what it is.

[pennyannie in reply to Brightness14]

The T3 and T4 content remain the same :

There was a post ages ago detailing everything in the new formulation but I can't remember - sorry:

Maybe email Sriprasit the manufacturers of Thyroid S and ask for a breakdown ??

[Brightness14 in reply to pennyannie]

OK Thanks I will try the new one for two weeks and see. I always feel good on my 2.25 grains but if not I lose £330 plus bank charges, a drop in the ocean for feeling well. I have plenty of Levo and T3 might have to change tact. At 76 years old I honestly don't like much change.

Yes, I understand - I'm just a year younger than you - fingers crossed for us both - that it'll be fine :

Like you I have purchased the new Thyroid S, which I plan to start taking on Monday, having used up my TRMann. I am wonderin how you manage 2.25 grains, do you quarter one of the tablets? (Similar age also I hit 70 two weeks ago, I also have Levothyroxine and T3 as a fall back.

[Brightness14 in reply to Margo]

I take 1.25 at 6am and another 1 at around 2pm. Yes I quarter them in my pill cutter. If I take 2.5 grains my FT3 is too high.

[Margo]

Thank you, I have never found pill cutters much good, and use a razor blade when necessary. Might give it a bash again, as have started to feel tired lately...

[Brightness14 in reply to Margo]

I have a good pill cutter most are useless but it's better with a craft knife. Anyway if I am careful the pills cut into quarters quite well, seven years practice.

[Margo]

Great, thanks.

I could do without any problems in my new batch as I have an appointment for ENT it couldbe compacted ear wax, I hope or a benign tumour. All my problems relate to my birth mother

all of us have problems. My adopted mother never had any and lived to 100 years.

If I have got to have brain surgery that would be the icing on the cake.
