Contraindication question

[Silvertre]

I am taking NDT ERFA 1.5 grains a day. I plan to take Hawthorne tincture to reduce my high blood pressure along with Elderflower tincture for calming. Does anyone know of contraindications with the NDT?

Any thyroid hormone is really just replacing what your own thyroid would produce naturally so there are no contraindications as such.

The only exceptions or things you have to be careful about are meds that reduce absorption of thyroid hormone such as PPI's and then we need to space them 4 hours apart from T4.

Hello Jaydee - thanks so much for your prompt and helpful reply.

I am about to start Hawthorn capsules, I bought them 2 weeks ago and keep putting off starting them, but will now give them a go. Thanks for defusing the bomb!

hi there please can I ask where you get your NDT from ?

Please don't go round adding questions to other threads.

I cannot close this post to replies as the original poster would not be able to receive any replies to their question.

But no-one will be allowed to reply on the forum.

Your post asking is still on the forum.

ok sorry so the importance is not asking publicalyb for a name

You can ASK in public. But REPLIES have to be private. Therefore it is best if you write a brand new post. An admin can then close it to replies to no-one inadvertently answers in public on the forum.
