Hi there, a couple of ladies I know who are prescribed NDT are being told that there's none available. Does anyone know if this is a nationwide problem and if it is, why this is happening? Thank you, Julie

Hi, are they being prescribed NDT privately or via NHS?

Is this a specific make? Or multiple makes?
I'm not sure, sorry.
I have found no suggestion there is an Armour Thyroid shortage in the USA.
Very often, if there is a shortage of, say, ERFA, then that affects Armour - at least for a while.
But there could well be an issue in getting it sent to UK and then distributed as needed. I simply don't know.
There is a list of pharmacies on the Thyroid UK website. Your friends can ring round these and see if they can get what they are looking for. They will need to specify the brand of NDT.
Not what you're looking for?
