Thanks Helvella. Think I will need to have a good read as I'm new to NHS tariffs.I just wanted to check they are not limiting NDT products further. You were not restricted a few years ago but now you are. Only a choice of two. Left me worrying they are trying to phase them out on their pharmaceutical list..

Not all medicines will be in the Drug Tariff - only those for which there is a price.

One example, Roma liothyronine capsules were not there for several months because they are actually paid at the manufacturer's list price.

Wow that's so interesting Helvella. I only knew about the restriction on the NDT choices because my pharmacist told me. At the time I was on NP Thyroid and had to change. Wasn't super happy but this time round Armour worked. (It did panic me!) I think maybe because since last trying it I am GF and on B12 jabs etc so maybe I process it much better than last time around. Who knows though...!!

If you follow the link, it explains what the prices mean, and the categories.

I had a choice of typing exactly what it says on the Tariff, 12250, or "translating" it into £122.50. I thought it made more sense to copy exactly. Otherwise you might be looking for "£122.50" and wondering that isn't in the Tariff. :-)
