I haven't heard of it, Adthyza appeared last year but I haven't read reviews about this one either....

[Incoguto in reply to adin]

Yeah I came across it only yesterday, called my pharmacy, but they know nothing. I see it is legit, produced by Nivagen. Good to know there are other options. Not sure Adthyza is available in Europe

[helvella Administrator in reply to Incoguto]

Neither is available in the UK - and likely not available anywhere in Europe.

[Incoguto in reply to helvella]

Aw. Okay, well, that's a pity. I wonder if it is a matter of time or they just focus on US market.

[helvella Administrator in reply to Incoguto]

Desiccated thyroid isn't widely available in Europe at all.

For example, it is illegal in France, and is only available through specialist importers in the UK. If you trawl social media there is discussion in Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, etc., but very limited.

Makes sense, I get it from Ireland, but it's unavailable where I live in Poland. There was a Polish NDT, but they stopped producing it end of 1980s I think

hi who do you get it from in IRELAND.. thanks

[Incoguto in reply to jenniwrenn]

On prescription and from my pharmacy there

Afraid I know nothing about it but I added it to my desiccated thyroid document some months ago!

Thanks helvella, it seems it was approved in autumn last year. It's just great seeing other companies producing NDT, there is such a huge demand and Allergan bumping up their prices endlessly on Armour

[helvella Administrator in reply to Incoguto]

Just for information, Armour is now owned by AbbVie.

[Incoguto in reply to helvella]

Oh yes I keep forgetting that Allergan was acquired 😀
