Erfa Thyroid NDT Ingredients please

[Brightness14]

Just a quick question is there a list of ingredients for Erfa please.

I am asking for myself plus a friend.

Thank you.

ERFA Thyroid tablets 125mg contain desiccated (dried) extract of pig thyroid gland, in which the active ingredient is thyroid hormone and contains both forms of thyroid hormone in the proportions found naturally in the thyroid gland, which is in the ratio 4:1 of T4 to T3. Also contains lactose, cornstarch, magnesium stearate, sugar and talc. Erfa Thyroid is gluten, paraben, sulfite and tartrazine free.

What doses

Thank you for the information.

My World Desiccated Thyroid document has links to details of most NDT products including Erfa.

helvella's medicines documents (UK and Rest of the World) can be found here:

helvella - Thyroid Hormone Medicines

helvella has created, and tries to maintain, documents containing details of all thyroid hormone medicines in the UK and, in less detail, many others around the world.

This link takes you to a page which has direct links to the documents from Dropbox and Google Drive, and QR codes to make it easy to access from phones.

The UK document contains up-to-date versions of the Summary Matrix for tablets, oral solutions and liothyronine available in the UK.

Thank you.

The first reply I had stated that it contained Lactose, do you know if this is correct.

[Brightness14]

Yes it is helpful the site states that the ingredients do not contain Lactose. Thank you.

But the manufacturer's OWN site says it contains lactose!

Each off-white to light amber-colored tablet, embossed “ECI 30”, “ECI 60” or “ECI 125” on one side, contains: 30 mg, 60 mg or 125 mg of desiccated thyroid containing lactose, derived from porcine thyroid glands. Nonmedicinal ingredients: cornstarch, magnesium stearate, sugar and talc.

That quote on the TPAUK site is a direct copy from Stop The Thyroid Madness but it is not exactly what that site now says! (You can tell by the mis-spelling PHIZER!) Even STTM now says "Sugar (tiny amounts of both sucrose and lactose)" - I suspect someone pointed out the mistake but it has not reached TPAUK.

This is why I try my very best to link to manufacturers' sites.

I will alter the information for my friend. I did try to look it up on your reply but couldn't sorry. I went into the searchlight site earlier today and never found the information either. Thank you for the correction.

I wish that I was born earlier then I may be able to use the site better.

If anyone has a problem accessing what I post, I will do what I can to help.

But that needs people to let me know!

Dioryth, Unfortunately much of the information on the TPAUK website will be very out of date. I don't think there's been much, if any, attempt to keep that site up to date since it's founder Sheila Turner passed a few years ago.
