Changing from Levo to NDT - dosing advice needed

[Jenyren]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for advice on dosing - switching from levothyroxine 75mcg to NDT (most probably ERFA or Thyroid S) but I've been advised by pennyannie that ERFA might be best as I have hashimotos. So what should I aim to be on with NDT?

My vitamin levels are good as I supplement with Vit D, folate, b12, selenium with exception of iron which I struggle to bring up - I would appreciate advice on best way to bring this up too.

Before I switch, I'm going to run a full thyroid panel in the next couple of weeks and I'll check my iron again as well but pretty sure it will come back on the low side as usual.

Many thanks for your help.

Sorry you have had no replies - maybe wait until you can post the results and ranges of the blood test you are planning to take soon and then forum members will be better able to write something factual.
