ERFA to Armour NDT

[HashiFedUp]

Hi lovely people (and fellow sufferers),

I am moving from ERFA (unreliable product) to Armour NDT.

Can anyone recommend a good supply and cheaper the better obviously.

Also has anyone had ERFA and Armour and how did it compare?

I was on ERFA 30/8mg (along with Levo from NHS) and it was going well until my ERFA was corrupted somehow and stopped working. Possibly the heatwave, who knows.

I’ve emailed quite a few pharmacies and the prices are more expensive than ERFA, so any help welcomed.

Do you have a prescription?

[HashiFedUp in reply to SeasideSusie]

Yes private.

ThyroidUK has a list of pharmacies who will dispense private prescriptions, so it's a case of contacting your local pharmacy and any on the TUK list and compare prices:

I tried swapping from Erfa to Armour following a recent change in Erfa and awful hypo symptoms returning with a vengeance! The armour made me feel awful and brought on a AFIb episode. It is way more expensive as well..

Ok so what did you do then - any good news to report 😬 as just ordering my Armour now lol.

Was going to sell mine lol! Still on the Erfa was thinking T3 T4 but can’t try to swap while I’m working in case I don’t get on with it

I’ve been taking NHS t4 and t3 in between swapping my NDT over and I feel awful !

The synthetic stuff just doesn’t work for many.
